{"product_id":"book-9791155802748","title":"Before the Green Miracle","description":"Before the Green Miracle: Joseon's Vanished Forests\u003cbr\u003e\nKorea's postwar reforestation is celebrated as one of the great environmental recoveries of the twentieth century. But before that green miracle, the forests of the peninsula had been pushed to the edge of collapse. \u003cbr\u003e\nIn Before the Green Miracle, Young Woo Chun traces how pine-centered state policies, deeply rooted cultural values, and technological constraints combined to deplete Korea's woodlands throughout the late Joseon period. Grounded in meticulous historical records and attentive to the everyday lives of those who depended on the land, this book offers the first systematic English-language account of forest degradation in premodern Korea. It serves as a sobering reminder of how fragile the balance between human societies and their natural environments can truly be.","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49140163674364,"sku":"9791155802748","price":30.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/4681\/9068\/files\/9791155802748.jpg?v=1779907248","url":"https:\/\/bookstore12.com\/products\/book-9791155802748","provider":"Bookstore 12","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
