hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: includes dust-jacket. DETAILS: near fine dust-jacket, fresh attractive copy, fine condition black hardcover. LANDER, BRIAN. The king's harvest: a political ecology of China from the first farmers to the first empire. New Haven: Yale University Press, 2021, 1st printing number line ending with 1, xiv, 300pp., . Series: Yale agrarian studies This book is a multidisciplinary study of the ecology of China's early political systems up to the fall of the first empire in 207 BCE. Brian Lander traces the formation of lowland North China's agricultural systems and the transformation of its plains from diverse forestland and steppes to farmland. He argues that the growth of states in ancient China, and elsewhere, was based on their ability to exploit the labor and resources of those who harnessed photosynthetic energy from domesticated plants and animals. Focusing on the state of Qin, Lander amalgamates abundant new scientific, archaeological, and excavated documentary sources to argue that the human domination of the central Yellow River region, and the rest of the planet, was made possible by the development of complex political structures that managed and expanded agroecosystems. - CONTENTS: 1. The Nature of Political Power -- 2. Seeds of Life: How People Came to Build Their Own Ecosystems -- 3. Herding People: The Rise of Political Organizations in China -- 4. The Power in the West: A History of the State of Qin -- 5. Watching Over the Granaries: The Ecology of the Qin Empire -- 6.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A multidisciplinary environmental history of early Chinas political systems, featuring newly available Chinese archaeological data This book is a multidisciplinary study of the ecology of Chinas early political systems up to the fall of the first empire in 207 BCE.

Paperback. Condition: New. Synthesizes multiple perspectives on Asian forests from early history to the near presentForests have histories that need to be told. This examination of wood and woodlands in East and Southeast Asia brings together case studies from China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Sumatra to explore continuities in the history of forest management across these regions as well as the distinctive qualities of human-forest relations within each context. With a general introduction to forest histories in East and Southeast Asia and a multidisciplinary set of authors, The Cultivated Forest constructs alternative lineages of forest knowledge that aim to transcend the frameworks imposed by colonial or national histories. Across these regions, forests were sites of exploitation, contestation, and ritual just as they were in Europe and America. This volume puts studies of Asian forests into conversation with global forest histories.
