Burnt to the ground by Genghis Khan in 1215 AD, the resurrected city was passed on to Kublai Khan (Genghis's grandson) as Dadu, or Great Capital. The mercenary Zhu Yanhang led an uprising in 1368, taking over the city and ushering in the Ming dynasty. The city was renamed Beiping (Northern Peace) and for the next 35 years the capital was shifted to Nanjing. When it was shunted back, Beiping became Beijing (Northern Capital) and up went such foreboding structures as the Forbidden City." This and more. - From Loneyplanet.com -

Extractions: State University I have found these programs to be very effective in improving student performance. Colleagues who are interested in a more detailed description of the theoretical design of these programs and their impact on student learning should consult my article, "Socrates On-line: A Multimedia Tool for the Development of Critical Thought," in Proteus: A Journal of Ideas. Special issue on Technology in Education (March 1997):13-22. A caveat: I am not a professionally trained programer; on the contrary, I am a history professor who fell in love with educational technology and taught herself everything she knows how to do. Consequently, there are one or two graphics in these programs that do not look as nifty as I wish they did, nor do these modules always work as well on the Internet as they do on a network or in the labs on campus. I do hope users will forgive me an occasional less-than-perfect graphic or experience via a modem connection! These interactive programs are also set up to record the amount of time you spend in the modules, your scores on quizzes, and other information onto a floppy disk. They do
