Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Over the long course of Japan's history, its rich natural environment simultaneously supported its human inhabitants and created significant hazards and challenges. The Japanese have also influenced nature in numerous ways, from landscape modification to industrial pollution. How has the human-nature relationship changed over time in Japan? How does Japans environmental history compare with that of other countries, or that of the world as a whole?Environment and Society in the Japanese Islands attempts to answer these questions through a series of case studies by leading Japanese and Western historians, geographers, archaeologists, and climatologists. These essays, on diverse topics from all periods of Japanese history and prehistory, are unified by their focus on the key concepts of resilience and risk mitigation. Taken as a whole, they place Japans experience in global context and call into question the commonly presumed division between premodern and modern environmental history.Primarily intended for scholars and students in fields related to Japan or environmental history, these accessibly written essays will be valuable to anyone wishing to learn about the historical roots of todays environmental issues or the complex relationship between human society and the natural environment. How has the human-nature relationship changed over time in Japan? How does Japans environmental history compare with that of other countries, or that of the world as a whole? This volume attempts to answer these questions through a series of case studies by leading Japanese and Western historians, geographers, archaeologists, and climatologists.
