Over dit product
Product Information
In the Maoist years the North China Plain was re-engineered to use every drop of water for irrigation and hydroelectricity. As David Pietz shows, China's urban growth, industrial expansion, and agricultural intensification rested on compromised water resources, with effects that cast a long shadow over China's future course as a global power.

Reviews
David Pietz provides an extremely well-written and accessible account of the challenges of managing water in China over the past three millennia...The book is very authoritative and based on long engagement with the continuities present in Chinese assumptions on water resources and how society's needs should be prioritized...The book will be very valuable to those who already know a lot about China but not much about the strategic importance of its water resources. For those who know little about China this book is a very welcome publication...It is arguably one of the most important books I have ever reviewed., [Pietz] has provided an excellent overview of the Yellow River with its impossible geophysical limitations and its many technological and political controversies. Written in an accessible style, the book has something to offer to those unfamiliar with China as well as to China specialists...It is easily the most useful and insightful addition to the relatively new field of Chinese environmental history., A timely and original history that sheds light on China's contemporary water crisis. In addition to skillfully weaving together a history of the Yellow River that spans more than 3,000 years, Pietz's meticulous and comprehensive study offers a wide perspective on China's environmental concerns. Should be read not only by historians of China, but by anyone interested in today's most pressing environmental concerns., David Pietz's tale of continuity and discontinuity in the North China Plain and notoriously silt-cursed Yellow River is an important contribution to the environmental history of one of China's most fascinating and important ecosystems. He chronicles flood and drought, famine and war, sudden changes of river course and the river's failures to reach the sea. He also raises important doubts about the state's present-day efforts to maintain self-sufficiency in grain and its emphasis on technological mastery of nature through the South-North Water Transfer Project, reminding us that the historical roots of such efforts can be traced to premodern times., Environmental historians commonly acknowledge the difficulty of establishing the global significance of local study, but Pietz's book is exemplary in this regard. He makes it clear that the yellow river posed a water problem of global proportions... This book significantly adds to the burgeoning field of global environmental history. Its scholarly yet also accessible style will appeal not only to specialists of the field but to a wider audience interested in China's environmental issues., A timely and original history that sheds light on China'e(tm)s contemporary water crisis.

Written in an accessible style, the book has something to offer to those unfamiliar with China as well as to China specialists...It is easily the most useful and insightful addition to the relatively new field of Chinese environmental history. -- Lillian Li Environmental History This book's value lies in showing that the issues are not confined to geology and engineering. Water in China is an unavoidably political issue because of cultural beliefs. -- Philip Ball Nature [Pietz] is especially good at presenting and evaluating the history of water management projects in China, and the growth dilemmas that the current Chinese leadership faces...The book provides an invaluable addition to environmental and science studies, as well as to ecological history. Most importantly, it is a major contribution to the study of water, which remains not simply the source of all life on earth, but our most precious and endangered resource. In the face of global climate change, Pietz makes China's experiences understandable. -- James L.
