This deeply informed and clearly written text provides a
comprehensive and comprehensible history of China from prehistory
to the present. Now updated to include recent political events and
scientific research, the book focuses on the interaction of humans
and their environment. Tracing changes in the physical and cultural
world that is home to a fifth of humankind, Robert B. Marks
illuminates the paradoxes inherent in China's environmental
narrative, demonstrating how historically sustainable practices
can, in fact, be profoundly ecologically unsound. The author also
reevaluates China's traditional "heroic" storyline, highlighting
the marginalization of nature and contacts with other peoples that
followed the spread of Chinese civilization while examining the
development of a distinctly Chinese way of relating to and altering
the environment. Unmatched in his ability to synthesize a complex
subject clearly and cogently, Marks has written an accessible yet
nuanced history for any student interested in China, past or
present, or indeed in the world's environmental future.
