Autor Vaclav Smil
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 noi 2003
China has a population of 1.3 billion people which puts strain on her natural resources. This volume, by one of the leading scholars on the earth's biosphere, is the result of a lifetime of study, and provides the fullest account yet of the environmental challenges that China faces. The author examines China's energy resources, their uses, impacts and prospects, from the 1970s oil crisis to the present day, before analysing the key question of how China can best produce enough food to feed its enormous population.

Recenzii

'China's expanding population aond huge developmental needs have put enormous demands on the environment. This is one of the most factual and comprehensive discussions on those environmental pressures currently available.' - China Information
'This comprehensive and highly informative volume reflects upon the author's past scholarship in light of new developments and future trends.' - The China Journal
'The strength of the book lies in its balanced perspective, devoid of ideologically driven assumptions.' - The China Journal
'The book is a highly valuable resource for acquiring a detailed understanding of the complex relationships between energy, food, and the environment in contemporary China.' - The China Journal
'This is an excellent book that summarises many of the arguements and research that has stimulated Professor Smil's work. It provides a particularly useful summary of some of the main trends in China's food, energy and environmental use and, as such, should appeal not only to Sinologists but also to non-specialists and those wanting an overview of China's recent and current environment and society.'
- James Beattie, University of Otago
