My new book is open-access! Now available at the most reasonable price imaginable. Relevant to folks interested in histories of border-making, the environment, Japanese Empire, Korea and China, etc. Many thanks to all who helped make this possible!

Very disappointed to see that @AramHur's latest paper in @koreaobserver has six completely fabricated citations.
Academic integrity matters, people.

Beyond excited about this forthcoming book from @yalepress by Holly Stephens, which is sure to be a key text for years to come on the history of capitalism in the Japanese Empire, and the transformation of Korean rural society under empire.

"Let's Raise More Dogs!"--a few pics of some very good doggies from a 1960s North Korean magazine. One on the left is from the unique NK "Pungsan" breed, described as "docile to humans but fierce towards its enemies."

A new review essay of unique ambition analyzes my book along with 23(!) others for insights into the nature of late Qing enviro-governance, foregrounding "adaptive resilience" rather than decline. Glad my efforts with Qing docs added to the conversation!

Newest review of my book and first in a sinological journal. Many thanks to Ruochen Chen at WashU for the kind review. Chen presses me for a little more on Chinese politics of the Yalu border, but also ends review with this lovely bit of writing:
