具体描述
In clear and compelling prose, Judith Shapiro relates the great, untold story of the devastating impact of Chinese politics on China's environment during the Mao years. Maoist China provides an example of extreme human interference in the natural world in an era in which human relationships were also unusually distorted. Under Mao, the traditional Chinese ideal of "harmony between heaven and humans" was abrogated in favor of Mao's insistence that "Man Must 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. Mao's War Against Nature argues that the abuse of people and the abuse of nature are often linked. Shapiro's account, told in part through the voices of average Chinese citizens and officials who lived through and participated in some of the destructive campaigns, is both eye-opening and heartbreaking. Judith Shapiro teaches environmental politics at American University in Washington, DC. She is co-author, with Liang Heng, of several well known books on China, including Son of the Revolution (Random House, 1984) and After the Nightmare (Knopf, 1986). She was one of the first Americans to work in China after the normalization of U.S.-China relations in 1979.

打打嘴仗显得很厉害的样子
评分每次读这一类型的书都有一种很复杂的gut feeling. 一方面很感激有人写了这个话题，另一方面，确实又觉得作者的倾向性很明显。最后还是决定打四颗星。作为最早来到中国的外国学者之一，并且她的前夫也是华人，这本书的内容又来自于那么复杂的一个时代背景。我还是觉得应该给与她credits.
评分倾向性很强，谈环境又不能完全以科学批判，再加以政治分析。谈环境的政治又容易去到精英史观，个体品行，及“这个人如果没被打倒，那之后什么什么面貌可能不一样”的论述。
评分four core themes: political repression, utopian urgency, dogmatic uniformity and state-ordered relocations; also we should pay attentions to the model of USSR, or what i call as the soviet modernity
评分To be frank，事实还是挺有用的，但不喜欢这一类书的口吻。
