Beijing: From Imperial Capital to Olympic CityFew world cities have a record as long, as fascinating, or as well documented as Beijing's. A capital almost continuously for more than a thousand years, the city has been Khubilai Khan's Mongol headquarters, home to emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the main stage for Communist era achievements and upheavals.

Few world cities have a record as long, as fascinating, or as well-documented as Beijing's. A capital almost continuously for more than a thousand years, the city has been Khubilai Khan's Mongol headquarters, home to emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the main stage for Communist-era achievements and upheavals. "Beijing" is the first book in English to trace this vibrant city's history from its earliest days to the present. It highlights recent changes in the city as its more than fifteen million people live through record-level economic growth and intensive preparations for the 2008 Olympics. Focusing on the lives of ordinary residents and rulers alike, the authors examine the controversial destruction of historic districts as well as the construction of new residential and business districts and Olympic venues. Extensive photographs and paintings, many not previously published, offer a window onto Beijing not only in major phases of its past, but also in its startlingly different present. Compelling and revealing, Beijing arrives just in time for the city's turn in the Olympic spotlight.Binding Type: Paperback

Great shelves
Size: 24 Inch, Color: White
Easy to assemble and comes with everything you need for drywall or wood. Nice color and texture and comes with stickers to hide the holes underneath. I bought two sets of three. These are very long, so I recommend just using two at a time.

Beautiful, sturdy shelves — perfect for any room!
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
These 16-inch solid wood floating shelves exceeded my expectations. The quality of the wood is excellent — thick, smooth, and very sturdy. They were easy to install, and all the hardware was included. Once mounted, they feel secure and can hold a good amount of weight without sagging.
I love how they add a clean, modern touch to the room. I’ve used them to display small framed photos, books, and decor items in my living room, and they look fantastic. The small ledge is a nice feature too — it keeps things from sliding off easily.
Great for any space — bedroom, kitchen, hallway — and they’re both functional and stylish. Highly recommended!

Perfect shelf
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: White
They look as pictured. The white is nice. These are sturdy and easy to hang. I was worried because I have not had luck with hanging shelves in the past but these were great. Would definitely recommend.

Stylish and Pratical
Size: 15.6 inch, Color: Black
The LaVie Home Floating Shelves are an outstanding addition to my office! This set of four 16-inch picture ledge shelves is not only stylish but incredibly functional.
One of the best features is the front ledge design, which keeps items securely in place and prevents anything from falling off. It’s perfect for displaying photos, books, or decorative pieces without worrying about them sliding off.
Installation was a breeze—the shelves come with clear instructions and all the necessary hardware, making the process quick and hassle-free. They feel sturdy once mounted and add a clean, modern touch to any room.
These shelves offer the perfect balance between aesthetics and practicality. If you’re looking for easy-to-install, high-quality wall storage, these are an excellent choice.

Almost perfect
Love these shelves. They were easy to put up. Gave them 4 stars because they don’t have the stickers to cover their screw holes.
