TAIWAN YEARBOOK 2007
The 2007 edition of the Taiwan Yearbook offers an overview of most fields of interest concerning Taiwan. The 22 chapters provide details on history, government, national defense, foreign relations, education, economics, environmental protection, science and technology, relations with China, and other important aspects of Taiwan. Essays, color photos, charts, maps, and tables assist the reader in understanding Taiwan. In addition to three appendices (a chronology of events in 2006, a timeline covering 1949 to 2005, and a comparison of romanization systems), an English-Chinese glossary is included for bilingual readers. Finally, the "Who's Who in Taiwan" section lists prominent leaders across the political spectrum and from all walks of life.
With the exception of certain personal and place names, Mandarin terms related to Taiwan are rendered in Tongyong Pinyin, Taiwan's official romanization system. The people and places of the People's Republic of China are transliterated using the Hanyu Pinyin System. Unless otherwise noted, an exchange rate of NT$32.53 to US$1 has been used in financial statistics.
