The Little Ice Age : How Climate Made History 1300-1850 – Review
It’s only recently that climate has become important to the average person. With global warming and El Nino frequent subjects, it’s hard to realize we’ve only been aware of the weather for a brief time. In this book, Brian Fagan makes us aware that weather has shaped our lives and society for a very long time indeed. Although perhaps a little too broad in scope, and a little more general than his prior books, Fagan nonetheless presents a clear, well-researched, and immensely clear account of the Little Ice Age and how it shaped our culture from the Middle Ages to the advance of the Industrial Age. A must have for professional and amateur archaeologists.
