Dj moderate wear, protected in new clear sleeve. 337 pages. Accessibly documents the role of Chinese government policy in the country's environmental degradation. China's spectacular economic growth over the past quarter-century has dramatically depleted the country's natural resources and produced skyrocketing rates of pollution. Environmental degradation in China has also contributed to significant public health problems, mass migration, economic loss, and social unrest. In The River Runs Black, Elizabeth C. Economy examines China's growing environmental crisis and its implications for the country's future development. This second edition is updated with information about events during the past five years of China's tumultuous transformation of its economy and its landscape as it deals with the political implications of this behavior as viewed by an international community ever more concerned about climate change and dwindling energy resources.. First Edition. Hardcover. Good/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
