The Long Summer: How Climate Changed Civilization – Review
Being as in the title, I commonly found this book most engrossing as it quickly followed the millenia, bonding weather and humanity together in a fully realistic journey. It eventually gave me many details and reminders about the evolution of man, in every age and era. It should be widely read by (or to, nearly) all ages. It is an excellent orientation.
