China Marks Robert B.
This deeply informed and clearly written text provides a comprehensive and comprehensible history of China from prehistory to the present. Tracing changes in the physical and cultural world that is home to a fifth of humankind, Robert B. Now updated to include recent political events and scientific research, the book focuses on the interaction of humans and their environment.
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. Marks illuminates the paradoxes inherent in China's environmental narrative, demonstrating how historically sustainable practices can, in fact, be profoundly ecologically unsound. 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.
