Description:- 'The Great Wall Explained' (China Intercontinental Press, Beijing) is principally an explanation of the Great Wall’s geography, history and appearance and function of its remnant structures gleaned from extensive field experience at the Great Walls of various dynasties. - Following an introductory chapter, William Lindesay explains the Wall story through the following chapters: Conflict, Construction, Architecture, Operation, Personages, Views and Conservation. Richly illustrated with photos that help to explain, the book also includes many of Lindesay's self-drawn maps by and self-designed charts.- “Through resplendent photographs and imaginative prose this innovative work unfolds the often startling results of twenty-five years of detailed engagement with the monumental structure known as the Great Wall. Rather than a mere chronicle of events or dull reprisal of developments, it is the fruit of lengthy pondering and extensive historical study. By combining detailed physical examination with highly aesthetic presentation William Lindesay has infused the Wall with life and created a vigorous, indeed a definitive, study.” - Ralph Sawyer, author ‘Chinese Ways of Warfare’. - “In The Great Wall Explained, William Lindesay offers everything you ever wanted to know about the greatest architectural monument on the planet. Richly written and lavishly photographed, the words and images of the book present a geographic and temporal outline of the story of China. Just as the Great Wall runs the width of China, its story reaches back through all the eras of the Chinese nation and touches on every important episode in its history. In this valuable work of research, William Lindesay gives us a map into the Chinese soul.” -- Jack Weatherford, author ‘Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World’.https://www.wildwall.com/booksWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
