China: An Environmental History by Robert B. Marks is a broad synthetic work of environmental history that traces the relationship between human communities and the natural world in China from prehistoric settlement to the present. Written for students, scholars, and informed general readers, the book belongs to the World Social Change series and treats environment not as a background setting but as a central force in historical development. Marks examines agriculture, forests, rivers, climate, population growth, state power, frontier expansion, industrialization, and modern policy to show how Chinese society reshaped landscapes while also being constrained by them. The book is especially concerned with the long historical roots of current ecological crises, including soil depletion, deforestation, flooding, pollution, and resource pressure. Its purpose is not simply to catalogue damage, but to explain how productive and durable systems could also generate cumulative environmental costs.
