Yellow River: The Spirit and Strength of China by Aldo Pavan is a right royal read for the enthusiastic traveller.

With the Beijing Olympics around the corner, this intriguing book proves to be a riveting read.

Aldo Pavan who has previously documented life on the Ganges and the Nile takes the genre on to the Yellow river - the cradle of Chinese civilisation. The river winds down a course of 3,300 miles from the Kunlun Mountains and the Bohai Sea. The photography captures the landscapes perfectly and includes a little vignette of the Dalai Lama medallion that Tibetan nomads keep under their clothing. A symbolic image of that nations subjugation.

The Yellow River: The Spirit and Strength of China retails for £24.95 ($50).
