Light the Torch – Beijing Olympics and Other Olympic News

China Revealed

by Sandy Mitchell on August 26th, 2008

If you were as enthralled by the beauty and diverse cultures of China as I was as I watched the Beijing Olympic Games and would like to learn more about this vast country, Abbeville Press has published a lavish and beautiful book of color photographs of China. “China Revealed” is a collection of more than 500 photographs by Basil Pao.

A native of Hong Kong, Pao brings his unique point-of-view to the captions and subjects. A chapter is devoted to each province of China. Readers will dramatic landscapes, China’s iconic pandas, Emperor Qin’s terracotta warriors, the world’s largest Buddha, and of course the people of China.

“China Revealed” is a wonderful coffee table book for those interested in learning more about this country. It would also make a great holiday gift for someone that particularly enjoyed the Beijing Olympic Games. “China Revealed” is available via Amazon.com (with free shipping) and most book retailers.
