Recenzii
"In this learned opus, Nanny Kim explains the evolution of the transport industry. The result is a sometimes-stunning peek into the technological, organizational, and social innovations that enabled the Southwest borderland’s integration into eastern China’s wider trade networks.(...) it is a pioneering foray into late imperial transport infrastructure and should be a foundational text for those working in this important field." - C. PATTERSON GIERSCH, Technology and Culture 63/1 (2022)
"Mountain Rivers, Mountain Roads provides a coherent and fresh account of transportation across these three provinces. Kim integrates her source materials to provide detailed analysis of the evolution of technology, the roles of people, and their associated skills. Her account offers valuable insights into the role played by state and private sectors in the development of long-distance commodity markets at this critical point in China’s economic history. % is book provides a clear pathfor scholars of mobility and transport to understand the complex interaction of human practice, natural environments, and technology, in the movement of goods and people, at the height of the Qing empire." - WEIPIN TSAI, Transfers, 11/1 (2021)
