Why does a Chinese office building have to face in a certain direction to bring good fortune? What is the role of nature in Japanese advertising? What are attitudes in pakistan towards nature conservation. What are sacred trees?;This volume takes a critical look at Asian perceptions of their natural environment as well as western views of Asia, and examines the apparent paradox of pollution and destruction of natural resources taking place in cultures traditionally perceived as being in harmony with their environments. The authors suggest that one reason may be that what Asians state as metaphors, Westerners take as face value.
