In 1982, Vaclav Smil turned upside down traditional perceptions of
China as a green paradise in "The Bad Earth", a disturbing book.
This new volume, drawn on a much broader canvas, updates and
expands on the basic arguments and perceptions of "The Bad Earth".
This book is not a systematic litany of what went wrong and how
much - but rather an inquiry into the fundamental factors, needs,
prospects, and limits of modern Chinese society, all seen through
the critical environmental constraints and impacts.
