{"product_id":"yangzi-waters-yan-gao-9789004505278","title":"Yangzi Waters: Transforming the Water Regime of the Jianghan Plain in Late Imperial China","description":"This book centers on the history of polders and investigates the complex hydro-social relationships of the Jianghan Plain in late imperial China. Once a hydraulic frontier where local communities managed the polders, the Jianghan Plain had become a state-led hydro-electric powerhouse by the mid-twentieth century. Through in-depth historical analysis, this book shows how water politics, cultural practice, and ecology interplayed and transformed the landscape and waterscape of the plain from a long-term perspective. By touching on topics such as religious practice, ethnic tensions and local militarization, the author reveals a plain forever caught between land and water, and nature and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yan Gao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 900450527X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004505278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.10w x 0.69d","brand":"Yan Gao","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48440418337023,"sku":"9789004505278","price":161.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d855b480-adb6-479d-a454-48f2baa143cc.jpg?v=1777182316","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/yangzi-waters-yan-gao-9789004505278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
