Product Review
` the book contains much interesting, useful material that students and researchers from a variety of disciplines will benefit from reading. this book does have something for everyone. it should retain a place in every library where there is an interest in either climate or history, or maybe even both.'
Pete Langdon, University of Exeter in Progress in Physical Geography, 26:3 (2002)
Product Description
Most studies of the impacts of climate change consider impacts in the future from anthropogenic climate change. Very few consider what the impacts of past climate change have been. History and Climate: Memories of the Future? contains 13 interdisciplinary chapters which consider impacts of change in different regions of the world, over the last millennium. Initial chapters assess evidence for the changes, while later chapters consider the impacts on agriculture, fisheries, health, and society. The book will be of interest to anyone working in the field of climate change and history.
Reader Reviews
The book is an edited volume of some thirteen chapters that are arranged within four major subsections plus an introduction. The book covers a very wide range of topics and each chapter is written in its own style. The climatic time scale is from about AD 1000 to close to the present day. The book is accessible to the advanced undergraduate onwards. The book would be useful for undergraduate and postgraduate teaching as well anyone with an interest in past and recent climate change or variability and to some extent its impact on past societies.
