Deeply impressive in its spatio-temporal and thematic scope, while simultaneously cohesive in its relational approach, The Sage Handbook of China and the Environment is a remarkable achievement.

A thoughtful and innovative collection that goes well beyond conventional accounts of China’s environmental challenges. The Handbook on China and the Environment explores the historical foundations of Chinese conceptions of humans as transformers and producers of their environment, contemporary processes of degradation and pollution, patterns of biodiversity, conservation practices old and new, environmental governance, and the global reach of China’s resource use and development.

This timely volume offers a vital introduction to Chinese perspectives, practices, and policies toward the natural world. The essays are succinct, lucid and balanced. As the world grapples with ecological crises of global scale, the insights gathered here underscore how deeply China’s choices reverberate not only across its vast landscapes but throughout the planet.
