North China has been regularly visited by droughts and floods, particularly in recent centuries, and Li (history, Swarthmore College) focuses on the Hai River Basin as one important region now comprising the province of Hebei and parts of adjacent jurisdictions, including the independent municipalities of Beijing and Tianjin. Over the past three centuries, she says, increasing siltation, excessive engineering, and periodic neglect have led the river to overflow frequently, but the environmental decline and agricultural limitations have been balanced in part by the region's political centrality. She describes conditions, events, and efforts in a generally chronological sequence. Annotation ⓒ2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
