Yet another chance to watch and listen to me promote my book The People of Guizhou and this time try my hand at making some YAK meat Tibetian-style dumplings!

Now I know which is not my good side... as well as stick to the pre-arranged questions when asked!
But more importantly you can now view my riveting interview on CCTV's famous show Dialogue by clicking here. It should be up for a while and I will post a full version soon if it doesn't load fully. But I can only sit through a few minutes before I start laughing - enjoy!
Yup - in the hot seat! For promotion on the my book - Nanjing: Life on the Water's Edge - I was invited to be a guest on CCTV's Dialogue. A show that is famous in China for being their version of the Larry King Show...
The air-date is TBD but as soon as I know - you will know. The show airs on CCTV-9 internationally and in China, as well as being available online.

Well it is official! The book Nanjing - Life On the Water's Edge - is finally out and the book launch is scheduled for July 14th here in Beijing. There will also be a large ceremony in Nanjing on July 17th which the book and myself will also be a part of. This is the second book I have authored and provided images for, the first being The People of Guizhou which will be released soon. Both books were commissioned and published by the Foreign Languages Press in Beijing. Pictures and video from the event will be posted soon.
The book comes in at just over 160 pages and features close to 100 full-color photographs. The six chapters give an introduction and a brief history of Nanjing, a chapter discussing Confucius and the Imperial Examination, a chapter that goes in-depth on the many folk customs of Nanjing and along the Qinhua River, a section on the famous "8 Beauties of the Qinhuai River", a section on the Buddhist world of Nanjing and a final chapter that focuses on the modern city life. The book is aimed to give visitors insight into Nanjing and some fun background when they travel to the city. The appendix is loaded with all the contact information for anything you would need while in town and - of course- makes a great gift! (The information on where you can pick one up will be coming soon...)
NOTE: It has been quite a while since I have blogged as the books and videos have been keeping me busy. But keep checking in as there will be more cool stuff - promise - to come! You can still visit my other site as well... www.brillphotography.com
