Summary |
"Robert Weller's documented account describes the transformations which have taken place in Chinese and Taiwanese responses to the environment across the twentieth century. Indeed, as the author points out, within a relatively short time both places can be said to have "discovered" a new concept of nature. The book focuses on nature tourism, anti-pollution movements, and policy implementation to show how the global spread of Western ideas about nature has interacted with Chinese traditions. The book will appeal to a broad readership from scholars of Asia, to environmentalists, and anthropologists."--BOOK JACKET |
