Did anyone find this book interesting and useful? I saw it in a bookstore yesterday and by a first look it looked interesting.
It is one of the better ones. It is an exibiton catalog and thus has a lot of photographs of artifacts, many of them not related to any GW at all. GW photos are good and not of the kind you see everywhere. The text is good but not too much GW related.
I do not want to miss this book in my GW section of my bookshelf but it is far from my best GW books (like those from Luo Zhewen and other recent Chinese publications).

The Great Wall: A Cultural History

Carlos Rojas presents a sweeping survey of the historical and political significance of one of the world's most recognizable monuments. Although the splendor of the Great Wall has become virtually synonymous with its vast size, the structure's conceptual coherence is actually grounded on the tenuous and ephemeral stories we tell about it. These stories give life to the Wall and help secure its hold on our collective imagination, while at the same time permitting it to constantly reinvent itself in accordance with the needs of each new era.
Through an examination of allusions to the Wall in an eclectic array of texts ranging from official dynastic histories, elite poetry, and popular folktales, to contemporary tourist testimonials, children's songs, and avant-garde performance art this study maps out a provocative new framework for understanding the structure's function and significance.
This volume approaches the Wall through the stories we tell and contends that it is precisely in this cultural history that we may find the Wall's true meaning, together with the secret of its greatness.

Willow Palisade Maps
These maps of the Willow Palisade are from this book.
Incredible! Where did you find this book? I fond it at Amazon for $283, for about 39€ at different places. Bought ...
To be honest, I am _very_ angry. It would have been my task to find this book ...

Re: Willow Palisade Maps
The fact you found it before I did is an impudence of major size ;-).
I hope you have more of that.
