City of Heavenly Tranquility - Jasper Becker
Beijing in the History of China
KORTE INHOUD
Looking at the cost of modernization, a British journalist and specialist on East Asian history focuses on Beijing as it prepares for the 2008 Olympics to reveal how a thousand years of priceless historical treasures, monuments, shrines, and landmarks have been swept away to make way for residential developments, blocks of office towers, shopping malls, and other "progress."
