EAA 8:2 Table of Contents / Supplemental Online Materials

Due to a lack of space in Education About Asia, we were unable to include a comprehensive bibliography on Chinese gardens as a supplement to the film review of Blending with Nature: Classical Chinese Gardens in the Suzhou Style. We are pleased to provide this bibliography online.

The author of the bibliography, Lauren Nemroff, is a Professor in the Art History Department at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. She compiled the bibliography for students studying Chinese art history at Reed College. Professor Nemroff can be reached at Lauren.Nemroff@reed.edu.
