Discovering nature : globalization and environmental culture in China and Taiwan

Weller, Robert P. (Robert Paul),
Cambridge, UK : Cambridge University Press, 2006.

"Robert Weller's documented account describes the transformations which have taken place in Chinese and Taiwanese responses to the environment across the twentieth century. Indeed, as the author points out, within a relatively short time both places can be said to have "discovered" a new concept of nature. The book focuses on nature tourism, anti-pollution movements, and policy implementation to show how the global spread of Western ideas about nature has interacted with Chinese traditions. The book will appeal to a broad readership from scholars of Asia, to environmentalists, and anthropologists."--BOOK JACKET.
