How the earth’s previous global warming phase, from the tenth to the fifteenth centuries, reshaped human societies from the Arctic to the Sahara—a wide-ranging history with sobering lessons for our own time.
From the tenth to the fifteenth centuries the earth experienced a rise in surface temperature that changed climate worldwide—a preview of today’s global warming. In some areas, including Western Europe, longer summers brought bountiful harvests and population growth that led to cultural flowering. In the Arctic, Inuit and Norse sailors made cultural connections across thousands of miles as they traded precious iron goods. Polynesian sailors, riding new wind patterns, were able to settle the remotest islands on earth. But in many parts of the world, the warm centuries brought drought and famine. Elaborate societies in western and central America collapsed, and the vast building complexes of Chaco Canyon and the Mayan Yucatan were left empty.
As he did in his bestselling The Little Ice Age, anthropologist and historian Brian Fagan reveals 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 history of the Great Warming of a half millennium ago suggests that we may yet be underestimating the power of climate change to disrupt our lives today—and our vulnerability to drought, writes Fagan, is the “silent elephant in the room.”

最初接觸曆史知識,似乎都願意接受即成的故事和結論。這當然是最簡便取巧的方式,但“未經審視的人生不值得度過”,曆史亦然,要成為擁有獨立思考和正確史觀的讀者,必須嘗試接觸從不同角度對曆史的審視和解讀。 事實上,曆史絕不是鐵闆一塊,在已經過去的人類活動和社會生活中...
評分1,環襯那裏駭然寫著“成就商業階層事業與生活的夢想”。。。不知道多少年輕人衝著成就夢想買這本書的。。。 2,印刷得好差。。。一些頁麵都齣現傳說中滴3D效果瞭。。。 3,作者涉獵很廣吖,引用瞭好多研究中世紀曆史的書,擴年得娃兒喲。。。編輯硬是把這些引用部分弄得和正...
評分雖然天氣對於普通人的的直接影響似乎僅限於“帶不帶傘”,但仔細想起來,其實即使科技水平如此發達的今天,很多行業也隻能看天吃飯。農業自不必說,交通、旅遊、建築、開采等諸多行業均或多或少受到天氣影響,更不用說大宗農産品期貨對金融市場帶來的影響。 今天我們讀曆史,關...

評分對於我來說,關於對氣候的注意,主要來自於之前微信裏瘋傳的那條群聊記錄,關於現在氣候變化,比如我國西北部的綠化成果等等。 在此基礎上,我大體翻閱瞭一些討論和文獻,主要發現我們現在對氣候的討論真的很少,並且不夠發散。而且近年來的研究也不是很有成就。簡單來說,現在...
