Challenges the notion that globalized social formations emerged solely in the Global North prior to impacting the Global South. This book brings the reader into the lives of Chinese scientists, officials, villagers, and expatriate conservationists who were caught up in environmental trends over the past years.

Trade Review
"A well-crafted and lucidly written book... Its delightful ethnographic insights and sharp concepts will be of great value in introducing ... new ways of thinking about China." Journal of Historical Geography "Theoretically nuanced, empirically grounded, and written in accessible prose." The China Quarterly
