Many visitors to our PR History website have, I know, taken great interest in and followed the link on the “links and resources” page to the many wonderful photographs from China in the 1970s that Michael Rank uploaded a few years ago. Today, sadly, I just wanted you to know that Michael went to see Karl Marx on 20 May, after 5 years of struggle with bile duct cancer.

Normally I would not tout a book review in this forum, but I want to make sure that readers of this list are introduced to Zhang Jishun's 张济顺 terrific new book Yuanqu de dushi: 1950 niandai de Shanghai 远去的都市：1950 年代的上 海 [A City Displaced: Shanghai in the 1950s]. Beijing: Shehui kexue wenxian chubanshe, 2015. I offer a discussion of the book in the current issue of Journal of Modern Chinese History, 10:1, 106-112.

The first part (SHANGHAI, PART 1) of the finding list series for the Upton Sino-Foreign Archive (USFA), Concord, NH, USA should be available next month. Any interested individual or institution should send a request by e-mail to rsu77@alum.dartmouth.org Any individual who has not previously been in contact with USFA should include a few sentences about his/her background and interests.
Most of the materials at USFA are from the pre-1950 period.
I don't know if any of the off-list replies already covered Taipei, but in case not:
Joseph Allen's Taipei: City of Displacements (Washington, 2011) is a very good place to start, and fits with the other "walking" books already mentioned.
