The disappearance of China’s naturally occurring forests is one of the most significant environmental shifts in the country’s history, one often blamed on imperial demand for lumber. China’s early modern forest history is typically viewed as a centuries-long process of environmental decline, culminating in a nineteenth-century social and ecological crisis. Pushing back against this narrative of deforestation, Ian Miller charts the rise of timber plantations between about 1000 and 1700, when natural forests were replaced with anthropogenic ones. Miller demonstrates that this form of forest management generally rested on private ownership under relatively distant state oversight and taxation. He further draws on in-depth case studies of shipbuilding and imperial logging to argue that this novel landscape was not created through simple extractive pressures, but by attempts to incorporate institutional and ecological complexity into a unified imperial state.
Miller uses the emergence of anthropogenic forests in south China to rethink both temporal and spatial frameworks for Chinese history and the nature of Chinese empire. Because dominant European forestry models do not neatly overlap with the non-Western world, China’s history is often left out of global conversations about them; Miller’s work rectifies this omission and suggests that in some ways, China’s forest system may have worked better than the more familiar European institutions.

Описание: Overcome by the death of his closest friend, Destiny Unsought, Timothy risks all in an abandoned pursuit through the mysterious mountains of Sanctum, the traditional home of the Mighty Ones and the resting place of the dead. There, with no hope of return, he finds the answer to the dark sea of his own soul and the destiny to which he was born. But first he must do what no other had done before him: cross back from death to life. ""Ian Miller's sci-fi trilogy takes the reader on a journey to distant worlds, but more importantly, deep into our own soul. Timothy Martin, an astronomy professor, discovers he has the ability to transport himself to other worlds. His ability to embrace the impossibility of the wonder he experiences will determine not only his own fate, but also that of entire alien worlds."" --Mark Worthing, author of Iscariot and The Winter Fae ""This utopian science fantasy with echoes of CS Lewis is a well-imagined and sympathetic exploration of how a world might operate without original sin. I found it refreshing and inspiring."" --Claire Belberg, author of The Golden Hour ""Ian Miller's trilogy combines fantasy, science, theology, human interest and cosmic conflict in one captivating package. It is a well-written, exciting tale with plenty of gripping adventure, intriguing suspense and fast-moving action. The characters reflect real-life passion, courage and frailty, and the issues are universal."" --Barry Chant, author and teacher Ian Miller grew up north of Brisbane on Australia's east coast.
