Table of ContentsReviewsAlthough the book was previously published in French (in 2003) in somewhat different form (and reviewed in MN 61:3, pp. 407-409), English-language readers are indebted to the Needham Research Institute and Routledge for making this translation available. Its chapters are dense by comparison to the readings to which many of our students are accustomed, but rich in detail, technical explanations, and more that provide great benefit to readers. In an adventuresome analysis such as this, there is much that is subject to further discussion, but Rice, Agriculture, and the Food Supply in Premodern Japan gives scholars a rich intellectual diet on which to chew.
