Empires of the Mind
Today, I went through the part 1 of the Introduction, the opening of the book. It gives a short history of what Richards did in China: in 1930's, in 1950 and in 1979.
Because I'm reading other books in addition to this, it may take a long time for me till I come to the end of the book. I will put my opinion, however, on this daybook at times.

| Yesterday, I got a small cardboard box from Amazon.com. In it was a hardcover copy of the book Empires of the Mind: I. A. Richards and Basic English in China, 1929-1979 by Rodney Koeneke.
