Climate Change and Human History is a comprehensive exploration of the intricate relationship between humans and climate change throughout history. Spanning hundreds of thousands of years, from ancient times to the present day, this book offers a concise yet insightful account of how natural climate variability shaped early human societies and how human actions are now causing significant changes to our climate.
The authors adopt a chronological approach, tracing the evolution of climate change and its impact on human societies across different periods. They delve into themes such as phases of climate and history, climate shocks, the rise and fall of civilizations, industrialization, the acceleration of climate change, and our future outlook. The 2nd edition of this book includes a new chapter that examines the explosion of social movements, protest groups, and key individuals since 2017, shedding light on the implications this has had on the history of climate change. Additionally, an improved introduction to the Anthropocene is provided, along with additional content on the basic dynamics of the climate system and updated historiography.
To enhance the learning experience, the second edition features more case studies, images, and individuals throughout the text. A glossary of terms and further reading is also included to aid students in understanding this interdisciplinary subject. Climate Change and Human History serves as an ideal companion for all students of environmental history, providing a clear and compelling demonstration of the critical role of climate in shaping human history and the experiences of humans in both adapting to and shaping climate change.
