Global Ecology in Historical Perspective――Monsoon Asia and Beyond

主題・内容

本書では、日本のイノシシ飼育やクマによる獣害、中国の鵜飼、タイのバンブー利用など、モンスーンアジアにおける人と生き物との関係が歴史生態学（生態史）の視点から明らかにされている。希少種や生息地の維持など、地球と文明との関係を考える上でヒントを与えてくれる。

おすすめのポイント、読者へのメッセージ

英語圏の読者にはあまりなじみのないモンスーンアジアに焦点を当てて生き物と人との共存の在り方を、主として現地調査に基づいて明らかにしている。同時に、梅棹忠夫や佐々木高明などによる生態史研究を展望することから、このテーマに関する民博での研究の展開を示している。
