【 摘 要 】

Dutch architect Joep Janssen has put together a special and rather interesting book about his exploration of Ho Chi Minh City, its surrounding areas and the Mekong Delta. Far more than the term „travel report“ in the subtitle implies, it is not a scientific publication in a strict sense either. Indeed, the reader has some difficulties on how to characterize it properly. Janssen reports on his talks to urban dwellers, to farmers and fishermen as well as to different professional and scientific experts in the book together with the author’s own observations and considerations as well as further findings from the author’s own readings.
