Title: PEKING REVIEW [re-titled BEIJING REVIEW in 1979.1], altogether 621 issues.
Author: (PERIODICAL - CHINA)
Seller: BATTLEDORE LTD (United States)
Condition: overall, very good to fine condition
Description: 621 issues Beijing Review (Chinese: 北京周報; pinyin: Běijīng Zhōubào; Wade–Giles: Pei-ching Yu-pao), previously Peking Review, is China's only national news magazine in English, published by the Chinese Communist Party-owned China International Publishing Group. In 2006 it claimed a per-issue circulation of 70,000 and distribution "throughout China and 150 countries and regions worldwide." Founded in March 1958 as the weekly Peking Review, it was an important tool for the Chinese government to communicate to the rest of world. The first issue included an editor's note explaining that the magazine was meant to "provide timely, accurate, first-hand information on economic, political and cultural developments in China, and her relations with the rest of the world." The U.S. Postal Service initially restricted distribution of the magazine but the U.S. Supreme Court overturned this policy in Lamont v. Postmaster General. In October 2020, the United States Department of State designated Beijing Review as a "foreign mission" of China. An important time period covering the entire Cultural Revolution through the death of Chairman Mao, the policies of Deng Xiaoping, and the establishment of modern China. Each issue in original printed wrappers: 1963: No. 10, 11, 13, 15, 25, 30, 32-36, 38, 41-45, 52; 1964: No. 1-52; 1965: No. 1-19, 21-22, 24-52; 1966: No. 5-30; 1970: No. special issue 8 May, 21, 31; 1972: No. 1-33, 35-52; 1973: No. 1-52; 1974: No. 1-35, 37-49, 51-52; 1975: No. 1-52; 1976: No. 1-52; 1977: No. 1-52; 1978: No. 1-52; 1979: No. 1-43; 1980, No. 10, 12-15, 21, 33, 38, 40, 47, 48; 1981: No. 1, 2, 5, 23, 27, 28, 37, 42, 44, 51; 1982: No. 31, 33, 35, 37, 38, 48, 50-52; 1984: No. 36, 40, 42 1985: No. 9, 11, 12; 1986: No. 1, 3, 13, 14, 30, 36, 43, 46; 1987: No. 8, 9, 27, 28, 37, 42, 44-46; 1988: No. 10; 1989: No. 3, 5, 6, 9, 19, 21-23, 27-29, 41; 1995: No. 4, 8 The name change of this journal under President Deng presaged a new direction. From being a revolutionary magazine, presenting the ideas and aspirations of a young (and relatively weak) Socialist state struggling along the road to the construction of Communism, it was now displaying its open statement of aims of an outright capitalist and imperialist state – with global ambitions. From the very beginning the new Socialist state had to face many obstacles. There was opposition from within and without the country, from within and without the Party. Those who might have played an important role in the past in the fight for liberation were not necessarily the ones who were needed to build a radically new society. All revolutions bring with it old baggage from the past, but some leaders found it more difficult than others to throw it away and start fresh. 《北京周报》创刊于1958年3月[1]，最初英文名为"Peking Review"，在中国全面改用汉语拼音作为译名标准后改为现名。杂志主要报道中国的政治经济现状，介绍中国政府对内对外的重大方针政策等[2]。《北京周报》也曾出版过法文、西班牙文、日文及德文版实体刊，不过除英文版仍保留实体刊外，其他语言版本均已于2000年12月停刊，仅保留网络版。

Title: The Theory and Practice of Ship Building
Author: White, Thomas
Seller: Ten Pound Island Book Co. (United States)
Description: London, 1848. b/w ills. in text. xi, 101 pp. Scarce 19th century work on naval architecture and shipyard practice. The author claims to be from a long line of ship builders and writes familiarly of earlier authors such as Stalkart, Chapman. He cites Creuze and Fincham and addresses experiments and design changes that have come about since the publication of these works. The practical sections are very specific, dealing mostly with the fabrication of specific timbers in the hull. There is also a chapter on steam navigation. The text refers to 6 plates which are not present in this work. Scott makes no reference to plates but according to Worldcat, they do exist. See Scott, 680. Laid into this copy is a two page autograph letter, signed, from one H. Smith regarding the steam vessels accompanying the Experimental Squadron in 1846. The letter notes the progress of the squadron and the behavior of each of the six ships composing it. Bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Spine label chipped
