Riassunto

CHINA presents a stunning collection of previously unpublished photos by native photographers revealing the unique combination of China's natural landscape and multicultural civilisation. The images selected for this one-of-a-kind presentation include portraits of forty-two of the most representative natural and cultural attractions in China, including twenty-eight notable World Heritage sites. Created by dozens of the country's top photographers, the 238 artful pictures present a provocative journey to the most spectacular natural landscapes of China, revealing the ancient origins of Chinese culture and tradition. Open any of the twelve gatefolds to expose another aspect of the splendour and complex origins of this wonderful civilisation. Many of these unique photographs provide close-up perspectives on the finer detail of colour and contour. A ten-page index emphasises the traditional and geographic significance of the sites, adding cultural and historical depth to the presentation. The monuments covered here are the pride of the Chinese people as well as wonders appreciated by naturalists and anthropologists throughout the world. CHINA is a great gift for everyone with an interest in the natural and cultural magnificence of this 5,000 year old civilisation. The artfulness of the photos and the high quality of the reproductions make CHINA a treasured addition to any quality collection.
