Описание: The Forbidden City in the middle of Beijing was the hub of imperial China from the fifteenth to the twentieth century. It was not until the end of the nineteenth century that westerners managed to penetrate the Forbidden City to explore the beguiling heart of imperial China. This book allows you to do just that.
Описание: This engaging book considers the British social reform movement at the beginning of the twentieth century through the lens of the garden city movement, a plan to build new communities on open land that would provide a healthy, aesthetically pleasing environment free from overcrowding and pollution. Standish Meacham argues that although the garden city movement initially embodied radical schemes for the reformation of society, it became in the hands of its upper-middle-class proponents a device for maintaining the established order in the face of threatening social change. In the complex clash between conservative and progressive impulses among garden city proponents, conservatism ultimately prevailed. Meacham shows that even socialist architects closely associated with the movement and its most famous prewar projects at Letchworth and Hampstead relied for inspiration on the villages of England's pre-industrial squirearchy. The result was the reaffirmation of a particular concept of Englishness that influenced both social policy and urban design.

Описание: The Forbidden City in Beijing, the seat of Imperial power for five centuries, is one of the greatest sites in the world. Completed in 1420 during the Ming Dynasty, it was designed to convey the incredible wealth and status of the Emperor, the Son of Heaven, the god-appointed link between the deity and his subjects. With vast courtyards, magnificent halls of audience and over nine thousand rooms, it is a palace and a city on a truly cosmic scale. Some 120 million people, more than the entire population of Europe, were ruled from the Forbidden City. The life of rigid protocol and ritual remained unchanged, frozen in time, until the Republican revolution meant the abdication of the last Emperor in 1912. The Forbidden City was renamed The Palace Museum and opened to the general public in 1924. With 100 illustrations, a newly designed plan and other maps, this is a superb and informative guide to a truly magnificent site.
