Big Book Of Sea Creatures

This book brings together a vast selection of images by Chinese photographers since 1949, giving readers a visual journey across the great People`s Republic, edited by esteemed photojournalist Liu Heung Shing, longtime Associated Press correspondent and ``Time`` magazine contributor.In post-Mao China, late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping urged his one billion countrymen to ``seek truth from facts.`` Taking its cue from Deng`s overture, China today is the leading economic story of the 21st century. The process by which China navigated the path from periphery to a central position in world affairs dominates the debate about Asia and China`s relationship to the western world. Pulitzer-winning photojournalist Liu Heung Shing charts the visual history of sixty years of the People`s Republic (1949 to 2008), and along the way aims to illustrate the humanistic course.
