Is environmental degradation an inevitable result of economic
development? Can ecosystems be restored once government officials
and the public are committed to doing so? These questions are at
the heart of An Ecological History of Modern China, a comprehensive
account of China's transformation since the founding of the
People's Republic from the perspective not of the economy but of
the biophysical world. Examples throughout illustrate how
agricultural, industrial, and urban development have affected the
resilience of China's ecosystems—their ability to withstand
disturbances and additional growth—and what this means for the
country's future. Drawing on decades of research, Stevan Harrell
demonstrates the local and global impacts of China's miraculous
rise. In clear and accessible prose, An Ecological History of
Modern China untangles the paradoxes of development and questions
the possibility of a future that is both prosperous and
sustainable. It is a critical resource for students, scholars, and
general readers interested in environmental change, Chinese
history, and sustainable development.
