Jason Wordie is a historian who engages a general audience with the way buildings and places reveal the history, changing nature, and culture of Hong Kong. His knowledge of Hong Kong and its history is complemented by an eye for the intriguing, and a wonderful sense of the telling anecdote that humanizes and brings history to life.
In Streets, Wordie takes the reader on 50 tours through the urban and historic places of Hong Kong Island ranging from Central through Wanchai, to Shau Kei Wan and Shek O, along the south coast from Stanley to Aberdeen, completing a circuit of the island through Pokfulam and Kennedy Town to Sheung Wan. Each place is introduced with a description of the area and the way it has changed. Then the reader is taken on a walk around the areaís streets with the important, interesting, curious, and historically illuminating sites described and illustrated.
Outstanding photographs by three of Hong Kongís most notable photographers--Richard Abrahall, Tony Hedley, and John Lambon--help make this a book to revisit many times as a handsome contemporary record of this ever-changing city.
