Perspectives on Environmental History in East Asia: Changes in the Land, Water and Air: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Perspectives on Environmental History in East Asia: Changes in the Land, Water and Air" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

This edited volume engages with some of the most dynamic themes in current research on East Asian environmental history, including agricultural science, war and the environment, imperial forestry, oceanic history, and the history of energy.

Chapters in this book supply an overview of environmental history as a rapidly expanding field, continuing to generate valuable insights into the mutually constitutive relationship between human societies and the biophysical environment. The book is divided into three parts: Part I consists of three chapters related to land use, while Part II includes five chapters that focus on water, a topic of perennial concern among environmental historians of East Asia, especially as it relates to irrigation, food production, and marine fisheries. Part III consists of two chapters, discussing the impact of new technologies on air quality, in addition to the history of energy in East Asia, which has emerged as an important area of inquiry at the intersection between both environmental history and the history of science and technology.

Perspectives on Environmental History in East Asia: Changes in the Land, Water, and Air will appeal to students and scholars of East Asian studies, environmental history, and environmental sciences.

Academia Sinica on East Asia

Series Editor: Dr. Chin-Shing Huang, Vice-President, Academia Sinica, Taiwan

Published in association with Academia Sinica, Taiwan

Academia Sinica was founded in 1928 in Nanjing, China. Over the next decade, ten institutes were founded, including three institutes in the humanities and social sciences. Researchers continued their work through the War of Resistance against Japan (19361945) and the civil war (19451949), and in 1948 Academia Sinica followed the government of the Republic of China to Taiwan. Only two of its institutes, the Institute of History and Philology and the Institute of Mathematics, were initially reestablished in Taiwan. However, over the following years Academia Sinica developed into a world-class research institution with 31 institutes and research centers divided among three divisions: Mathematics and Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Humanities and Social Sciences.

The Division of Humanities and Social Sciences now consists of eleven institutes and a research center. Its scholars conduct research in the areas of archeology, history, literature, linguistics, philology, philosophy, anthropology, economics, sociology, political science, and law, as well as conducting interdisciplinary research.

The publication series Academia Sinica on East Asia features monographs by scholars in the humanities and social sciences at Academia Sinica.
