The Little Ice Age tells the fascinating story of the turbulent,
unpredictable, and often very cold years of modern European
history. Using sources ranging from the dates of long-ago wine
harvests and the business records of medieval monasteries to modern
chemical analysis of ice cores, renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan
reveals how a 500-year cold snap began in the fourteenth century.
As Fagan shows, the increasingly cold and stormy weather
dramatically altered fishing and farming practices, and it shaped
familiar events, from Norse exploration to the settlement of North
America, from the French Revolution to the Irish potato famine to
the Industrial Revolution. Now updated with a new preface
discussing the latest historical climate research, The Little Ice
Age offers deeply important context for understanding today's age
of global warming. As the Little Ice Age shows, climate change does
not come in gentle, easy stages, and its influence on human life is
profound.
