Green Archipelago Forestry in Preindustrial Japan

"This is a superb book on an important subject: the pulling back of Japan beginning in the late 17th century from the utter destruction of her forests--a course on which the country seemed bent in 1600--and from the ecological, economic, and social catastrophe that would have followed. The immense importance of the subject for Japanese history is obvious."--Thomas R.
