DESCRIPTION:Lecture given by  Peter C. Perdue\, professor of history at Yal
 e University. \n\nChina\, like all other empires and modern states\, has r
 elied on natural resources\, like land\, water\, and minerals\, to support
  its rule and ensure the livelihood of its people. In so doing\, the Chine
 se reshaped the landscape\, altering ecosystems\, often undermining their 
 resilience when pursuing economic growth.\n\nMajor crises of the Chinese s
 tate and society had their sources in unsustainable efforts to extract exc
 essive burdens from the natural environment.\n\nIn this talk\, I will disc
 uss several major crises of the Chinese state from an ecological point of 
 view\, demonstrating the value of environmental history for understanding 
 China’s current critical situation.
