520 2 "Over the long course of Japan's history, its people
profited from their rich natural environment while
simultaneously facing significant environmental
challenges. Over time, they have altered their natural
environment in numerous ways, from landscape modification
to industrial pollution. How has the human-nature
relationship changed over time in Japan? How does Japan's
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 Japan's
experience in global context and call into question the
commonly presumed division between pre-modern 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
today's environmental issues or the complex relationship
between human society and the natural environment"--
