This text is in Chinese & English. The author would like with this photoalbum to acquiant visitors with the capital of China & reacquaint the citizens who already know the city well with some famous sites. Since not all of them have the making of a good scene for panoramic photograph, his album does not follow the common & perhaps expected themes of similar endeavours. That's why there are some lesser known details & atmosphere in the book, on the other hand this makes it even more exciting & interesting. Each panoramic photo has an explanatory text that provides new knowledges about sites, events or habits. ...

Behind The Scenes At The Museum Of Baked Beans: My Search For
Britain's Maddest Museums

I am fascinated by people turning their daft dreams into a reality. How did they do it and why?' Driven by his own passion for collecting Hunter Davies has packed his notepad and set off in search of Britain's maddest museums. As he explores these hidden gems he soon discovers that they are everywhere and that they celebrate just about everything, from lawnmowers in Southport to pencils in Keswick. But as Hunter travels up and down the country he comes to realise that it isn't only the collections that are fascinating, it's also the people who have put them together. Whether they're a man who loves his Heinz so much he's changed his name to Captain Beany or a kleptomaniac Vintage Radio buff, these eccentric collectors are Britain's finest and could live in no other country in the world.
Once you discover these museums and get to know their curators, Great Britain won't look quite the same again...
