Macao – People and Places, Past and Present
by Jason Wordie

Photography by Anthony J Hedley and Colin Day

With 22 original hand drawn maps by Wee Kek Koon

Macao contains abundant corners of appeal and fascination, and enduring links to the past in spite of considerable transformation, and rapid change in recent years.  A compelling, multi-layered social history, Macao – People and Places, Past and Present with stunning photographs by Anthony J Hedley and Colin Day – takes the reader on a series of journeys across physical, geographical, chronological and cultural space and time from the Barrier Gate in the north to Coloane in the south. In the process, Jason Wordie reveals the many dimensions that make Macao the uniquely special place that it is – and has always been.

Anthony J Hedley - A specialist in preventive medicine and public health, Anthony Hedley has worked in six medical schools and in 1988 became Chair Professor of Community Medicine in the University of Hong Kong.  He has collected cameras and photographic memorabilia since his teens and has photographed landscapes in the Asia Pacific region since 1964.

Colin Day - An academic publisher, Colin Day worked in Britain and the USA before becoming Publisher of Hong Kong University Press and latterly consultant to the Instituto Cultural do Macao. Finding both Hong Kong and Macao highly photogenic, he has devoted many hours in both cities to capturing both the grand sights and the back streets.
