Reviews

""Wilson’s careful attention to the literature in Japanese and English and to questions of method and approach are present throughout. Altogether this is an important new contribution to the fast-developing fi eld of Japanese environmental history and has major implications for the urban history of Edo/Tokyo especially."" – Mark Metzler, in The Journal of Japanese Studies 49.1, pp. 162-167 (2023) ""Roderick Wilson’s Turbulent Streams makes another fine contribution to this growing body of literature on Japanese environmental history, exploring the early modern Tokugawa era to well into the twentieth century. The book draws on a considerable volume of Japanese-language secondary sources that focus exclusively on Japan and also takes inspiration from well-known theoreticians and practitioners who make up the core of English-language environmental historical studies."" – Philip C. Brown, in Monumenta Nipponica 77.1, pp. 140-145 (2022)
