About this title

Synopsis

Its Architecture is Hong Kong's sublime art, conditioning the way this ever-changing city hes evolved. The thrust is more upward than outward, shaping the vertical profile of this intensely concentrated metropolis and ensuring that, whatever changes are in store, Hong Kong continues building its fabled reputation as the 'Many Splendoured Thing'.

About the Author

Pater Moss hes made Hong Kong his home since 1965. He was here for the spillover of the Cultural Revolution in 1967, while the return of the former British colony to China in 1997 marked the third imperial retreat to which he bore witness-the others being India in 1947 and Malaya in 1957. Aside from his novel The Singing Tree, his published works include: Hong Kong Handover, Hong Kong Style, Skylines: Hong Kong, Passing Shadows, The Long March Back, The Colour of Asia, The Imperiled Utopia: Lijiang, Bye-Bye Blackbird, Distant Archipelagos.
The latter are the first two volumes of an eventual triptych autobiography recounting his years in India, Malaya and Hong Kong.

Store Description

B�cher kaufen und verkaufen an einem Ort, schnell und ohne Aufwand ? so lautet unser Bookbot Erfolgskonzept. Mit unserem innovativen Konzept machen wir mit Bookbot den Online-Buchhandel nachhaltiger und bringen hochwertige, gebrauchte B�cher antiquarisch in den Umlauf. Mit der Leidenschaft f�r B�cher, dem Wunsch ihren Lebenszyklus zu verl�ngern und dabei gleichzeitig die Umweltbelastung zu reduzieren, hat Dominik Gazdo? Bookbot gegr�ndet. Im klaren Fokus stehen dabei Kundenkomfort und Benutzerfreundlichkeit. Unsere Plattform verspricht Leser*innen eine breite Auswahl sowie einen sicheren Kaufprozess. Von Bestsellern �ber Klassiker bis hin zu Nischenliteratur bietet wir auch lesefreudigen �sterreicher*innen eine wahre Schatzkiste zu fairen Preisen. Im Gegensatz zu herk�mmlichen Verkaufsplattformen gehen wir einen Schritt weiter, indem wir den gesamten Verkaufs- und Versandprozess �bernehmen ? angefangen beim professionellen Abfotografieren der B�cher bis hin zur Ermittlung eines fairen Preises sowie der Kommunikation mit potenziellen K�ufer*innen. Verk�ufer*innen schicken lediglich ihre Buchsch�tze an uns und warten, bis diese neue Besitzer*innen finden und das Entgelt bei ihnen eintrudelt. Die breitgef�cherte Auswahl an Buch-Genres reicht von Klassikern, Bestsellern �ber alte Sch�tze und kultigen Comics bis hin zu Fachpublikationen. Wir bieten hunderttausende Titel aller Genres in vielen Sprachen, meist in perfektem Zustand an. Bei �lteren oder besch�digten B�chern finden sich online detaillierte Bilder des Zustands auf unserer Website. Wir sind stolz, bereits 200.000 gl�ckliche Bookbot-Kund*innen an Bord zu haben und bieten damit eine breite Community an vielen potentielle K�ufer*innen. Nach gelungenen Markteintritten in Tschechien, Deutschland und der Slowakei, sind wir nun auch in �sterreich t�tig.
