As environmental history has developed as growing sub-discipline
within the study of history, great emphasis has been placed on the
importance of adopting an interdisciplinary approach. Indeed, as
Environmental History in East Asia shows, by drawing on research
and methodologies from the fields of science, technology,
geography, geology and ecology, we are able to develop a much
richer understanding of a region's history. This book provides a
comprehensive examination of environmental history in East Asia,
ranging temporally from the Ming dynasty to the 21st Century and
spatially across China, Japan and Taiwan. Split into four parts,
the chapters cover a wide range of fascinating topics, comparing
environmental thought and policy in the East and West, the
transformation of the landscape, land resource utilization and
impact of agriculture and disasters and diseases across the region.
A diverse selection of case studies are used to illustrate the
chapters, including the role of Daoism, Qing pasturelands and 21st
century swine flu. Truly interdisciplinary in approach, this book
will be of huge interest to students and scholars of Asian
environmentalism, environmental history, Asian anthropology, Asian
development studies and Asian history more generally.
