Mao's War against Nature: Politics and the Environment in Revolutionary China - Studies in Environment and History
Shapiro, Judith (American University, Washington DC)
Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of 'harmony between heaven and humans' was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that 'people will conquer nature'. Mao and the Chinese Communist Party's 'war' to bend the physical world to human will often had disastrous consequences both for human beings and the natural environment.
