Hardcover in pictorial paper. 72 pp. Includes full-color and black-and-white reproductions of photographs, illustrative figures, and illustrated endpapers. From the back panel: "'Images of Asia' offers a range of titles covering aspects of life and culture in East Asia. Each book in the series combines an introductory text, written for the non-specialist reader by an authority on the subject, with extensive illustrations both in colour and black-and-white." This volume covers the fundamentals of Chinese garden designs, with discussions of the aesthetic principles and practical concerns of designers, the historical and cultural context of the gardens, and fine examples of sites such in Suzhou, Yangzhou, Shanghai, and Beijing.
