You’d expect a big photography book featuring something as magnificent as the Great Wall of China to be visually stunning—and this one is—but the substantial text in The Great Wall is dazzling, too! Photographer Michael Yamashita, who spent a year traversing the entire length of the wall, shares personal stories about the people and places he encountered on his journey. And conservator William Lindesay, director general of International Friends of the Wall, leads the reader through a captivating history of China and its most remarkable feat of civil engineering. The Great Wall offers breathtaking views, fascinating historical and cultural details, and countless little surprises (did you know, for example, that some people live inside parts of the wall?). Don’t miss this lovely armchair adventure!
