This title describes the evolution of a major city from ancient seat of the Chinese empire to modern host of the 2008 Olympics. It takes advantage of increased focus on Beijing and the 2008 Summer Games. As China's economy continues to soar, the city is a common stop for business travellers as well as tourists. Experts in Chinese history explore the history of Beijing, its evolution from Kublai Khan's seat of power to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. "Beijing" highlights the current developments in the city as it prepares for the 2008 Olympics. Maps, paintings and photographs detail the more than 600-year evolution of this unique and vibrant city.
