　　Bridges, the least known and understood of China's many

wonders, are one of its most striking and resilient feats of

architectural prowess. Chinese Bridges brings together a thorough

look at these marvels from one of the world's leading experts on

Chinese culture and historical geography, Ronald G. Knapp.

While many c***ider bridges to be merely utilitarian, the bridges

of China move beyond that stereotype, as many are undeniably

dramatic, even majestic and daring. Chinese Bridges illustrates in

detail 20 well-preserved ancient bridges, along with de*i***

and essays on the distinctive architectural elements shared by the

various designs. For the first time in an English-language book,

Chinese Bridges records scores of newly discovered bridges across

China's vast landscape, illustrated with over 400 color

p***ographs, as well as woodblock prints, historic images,

paintings and line drawings.
