Collection of Essays on Chinese Environmental History
Project Director:Ts'ui-Jung Liu; Institution: Academia Sinica
The goal of this project was to publish the results of a large-scale conference on Chinese environmental history in a volume edited by Liu Ts’ui-jung 劉翠溶 and Mark Elvin. The papers for this volume covered a broad range of topics researched by scholars from Taiwan, Japan, the United States, and Europe, including settlement patterns, frontier regions, climate, disease, etc. The Chinese volume (積漸所至:中國環境史論文集) was published by Academia Sinica’s Institute of Economic in 1995, while the English volume (Sediments of Time: Environment and Society in Chinese History) was published by Cambridge University Press three years later.
