Overview
From the 10th to the 15th centuries the earth experienced a rise in surface temperature that changed the climate worldwide - a preview of today's global warming. In some areas, including much of Western Europe, longer summers brought bountiful crops and population growth that led to cultural flowering. In others, drought shook long-established societies, such as the Maya and the Indians of the American Southwest, whose monumental buildings were left deserted as elaborate social structures collapsed.
Brian Fagan, bestselling author of The Little Ice Age, examines how subtle changes in the environment had far-reaching effects on human life, in a narrative that sweeps from the Arctic ice cap to the Sahara to the Indian Ocean. The lessons of history suggest we may be yet underestimating the power of climate change to disrupt our lives today.
