BEIJING
The Biography of a City
Jonathan Clements 2008
A good read for some one who's just started looking into Beijing's history.
If you've read other books you'll find some information you've seen before but its a still a good read about one of Asia's greatest cities and its history over the centuries.
A Gwailo's View of Han Zi ! A Blog featuring my experiments with Han Zi and digital typographic art and articles on Chinese derived characters. Also some articles on Chinese characters in general and their use of multiple Asian languages.
