Encyclopedic in scope and with excellent illustrations and maps, this comprehensive, scholarly history is noteworthy for the depth of its sources, original research and treatment of all aspects of life in imperial Peking. Naquin, a professor of History at Princeton, is especially interested in temples and the role of religion, Chinese, Tibetan, Muslim, and Christian, in the development of the city.
