  • Remembrances of Li Xueqin (1933–2019)

    Open AccessSarah Allan, Genevieve Barman et al.ARTICLEEarly China2019

    I first met Li Xueqin in 1981, when he was a visiting fellow at Cambridge, and I was teaching at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. Paul Thompson and I took a train to Cambridge to invite him to London for a few weeks-Paul said we should pay a scholar of his caliber the courtesy of going in person rather than writing to him. In London, Li spent an hour or so every morning happily working his way through all of the galleries of …

  • Transitions in pathways of human development and carbon emissions

    Open AccessWilliam F Lamb, J Steinberger et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2014

  • Fruitful Sites

    Frances Wood, Craig ClunasARTICLEGarden History1997

    Gardens are sites that can be at one and the same time admired works of art and valuable pieces of real estate.

Who owned gardens? Who visited them? How were they represented in words, in paintings and in …

  • Did Marco Polo go to China

    Frances WoodARTICLEAsian Affairs1996

    Marco Polo's book The Description of the World is one of the classics of medieval literature, describing his epic journey to China and subsequent return to Italy. He has become a cultural icon bridging East and West, his name known by adults and children alike. This is a piece of historical detective work, marking the 700th anniversary of Polo's journey, and questions whether the explorer ever reached the country he so vividly described. Why, wit…
