Image: Thomas Lessman - click for http://www.worldhistorymaps.info/index.html Welcome to Talessman's Atlas of World History!
I'm Thomas Lessman, an amateur historian with over 20 years of experience researching world history. I've had a passion for history ever since childhood, especially in designing historical maps. It would be a shame to let my research go to waste, so I decided to share my work and knowledge through this website.

China Expats are working with Tal to offer maps of ancient Chinese / Asian history and movements of people across ages. This work is to support our Chinese History section, that requires maps that do not yet exist = its a lot of work!
   
Image: Thomas Lessman - click for http://www.worldhistorymaps.info/index.html Wikipedia

China Expats are working with Wikipedia in several areas to help foster free and creditable information regarding China. Sometimes this entails supplying free photographs to their 'Commons' section, or editing other peoples work.

Mainly we are involved with Chinese Music and history, of which traditional Chinese musical instruments and traditional uses by ethnic minorities, or Han, are emphasised.

Having got fed up with: Webfusion (Downtime 5 weeks and counting + refused to reply to support requests - ever!), Pipex, 123, BT (They contract out their Domain names and web hosting to USA), M6 (Australia - too busy to reply to support requests), The Registry (USA - seemed ok, but horrendous customer attitude), and countless others - we have never looked for another service since finding Vidahost:
