Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the southern imperial Chinese provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi from 1400 to 1850, this book critiques Western environmental historiography by exploring the interplay between economic and environmental transformations. It highlights how population growth influenced land use, agro-ecology, and deforestation, while examining the commercialization of agriculture and its repercussions. Additionally, it addresses the effects of climatic changes on farming and the adaptive strategies of the human population in response to environmental challenges.
