Very good in very good dust jacket. dust jacket is age-toned along spine and edges small tears along dust jacket edges. 148 p. Includes illustrations. . "Published in 1956 as publicity material for the new engineering projects depicted this book was also sold abroad through the China International Bookstore. The design of the book s cover printed in green with repeating stylized waves stands in stark contrast to the rather austere predominantly black-and-white photographs inside featuring dams and navigation locks sluice gates and river dredging operations. The term 'water conservancy' is popularly understood to mean not wasting water but the focus of this book is more in line with China s perennial water issue: how to control water. A country both rich in water resources and subject to frequent floods and droughts China has always prioritized development of large-scale water management infrastructure."

1934réf. 115861Chefoo Yantai Shanghai Singapore: 1934-37. Battleships baseball and the Bund A substantial private photographic record compiled by Yeoman Second Class Charles Edmond Berry during his 1934-37 service aboard USS Parrott DD-218 with the Asiatic Fleet. Combining personal snapshots and commercial studio prints the album captures both naval operations and sailors' pastimes alongside a survey of East Asian ports before the Second Sino-Japanese War. Opening with portraits of Parrott's officers and crew two colour-tinted views of the destroyer at anchor and a playful Afong Studio promotional image featuring the ship the album moves between naval duties and life at leisure. It includes panoramic views of the Asiatic Fleet at Chefoo and Hong Kong American destroyers on station gunnery practice loading shells and baseball matches. Scenes of liberty parties at Chefoo's Beach Cafe including the next morning's breakfasts and sailors enjoying themselves along Shanghai's Bund supply a convivial counterpoint. Other photographs document streets and waterfronts in Shanghai Hong Kong Qingdao Peking and Singapore; excursions to the Great Wall; cremation ceremonies in Bali; temples and city life in Japan; and Pan American Airways flying boats landing and disembarking passengers. There are views of Chinese Republican warships including the cruiser Yixian subsequently sunk by Japanese aircraft in September 1937. Commercial prints are credited to Afong in Chefoo and to Joseffa and Skvirsky in Shanghai. The related ephemera retained in the original sailcloth bag give the album additional personal immediacy: Berry's dog tags and devotional medallion a naval despatch shipboard newsletter voyage programmes mock proceedings before Neptune's court tourist booklets and a folding map of Shanghai. The Parrott stationed in the Far East since 1925 gathered hydrographic data near Saigon in 1935 and resumed neutrality patrols in 1936.
