The Great Wall (Images of Asia)

Summary: An introduction to China's Great Wall
Review: I was a little surprised to find "The Great Wall" was only 32 pages long, but once I read it I was not dissapointed with it's content. "The Great Wall" is a close up guide to the building of China's famous wall -- a building project that spanned nearly 2,000 years. The best part of the book was the photgraphs of the remains of the wall. The actual writing does not go into too much detail about the historical building of the wall; it provides a decent introduction to the various periods of building and the styles of various sections of the wall's design. Overall, this is a good introduction book to the Great Wall of China, with excellent photography.
