Multidisciplinary Studies of the Environment and Civilization

Multidisciplinary Studies of the Environment and Civilization draws on research from a diverse range of fields across the humanities, social and natural sciences to discover what is needed to develop an affluent, sustainable and resilient world for the twenty-first century and beyond.

The contributions throughout this volume build and promote frameworks for an interdisciplinary approach to sustainability both in and beyond Japan. Utilizing research efforts from a broad range of fields such as zoology, biological anthropology and archaeology, these multidisciplinary studies are brought together to assess the impacts humans have had on the environment as well as the role of civilization, culture and heritage in environmental history.

This book provides a truly multidisciplinary approach to environmental issues and will be of great interest to graduate students and researchers in fields such as climate, geology, plant taxonomy and marine science as well as those with an interest in Japanese history, archaeology, art and literature.

Yoshinori Yasuda is the Director of the Museum of Natural and Environmental History, Shizuoka, Japan, a Professor at Ritsumeikan University, and Professor Emeritus at the International Research Center for Japanese Studies, Kyoto, Japan.

In recent years, the concept of the Anthropocene has become widely debated as a way of understanding the complex relations between the natural environment and human civilization. While much of this debate has so far been centred on the West, this series provides a venue for research and thinking on the Anthropocene from Asian and comparative perspectives. How does the placing of Asia in the Anthropocene affect our understanding of the origins and nature of that epoch? Can Asia provide new ideas and approaches to confront the crisis of sustainability represented by the Anthropocene?

Edited by researchers at the Mt. Fuji World Heritage Centre for Mountain Research and the Museum of Natural and Environmental History, Shizuoka, this series aims at interdisciplinary approaches to the Anthropocene using both the natural and human sciences. Geographically, the series will focus on Asia but will also include comparative studies on the history and future of the Anthropocene.
