"The Asian monsoon and associated river systems supply the water that sustains a large
portion of humanity, and has enabled Asia to become home to some of the oldest and
most productive farming systems on Earth. This book uses climate data and environmental
models to provide a detailed review of variations in the Asian monsoon since the mid-Holocene,
and its impacts on farming systems and human settlement. Future changes to the monsoon
due to anthropogenically-driven global warming are also discussed. Faced with greater
rainfall and more cyclones in South Asia, as well as drying in North China and regional
rising sea levels, understanding how humans have developed resilient strategies in
the past to climate variations is critical. Containing important implications for
the large populations and booming economies in the Indo-Pacific region, this book
is an important resource for researchers and graduate students studying the climate,
environmental history, agronomy and archaeology of Asia"
