Page (geography, U. of Colorado, Denver) has produced a fascinating volume documenting Beijing in photographs. The side-by-side, full-page views contrast historic photos from the late 19th and early-20th centuries with photos taken by Page of the same site or monument. A description of each view and the nature of the changes that have occurred there accompany each pair of photos. The volume, part of a series by this press, is published in an oversized, horizontal format: 11.25x9.75 inches. (Annotation ©2008 Book News Inc. Portland, OR)
