This intriguing volume provides a thorough examination of the
historical roots of global climate change as a field of inquiry,
from the Enlightenment to the late twentieth century. Based on
primary and archival sources, the book is filled with interesting
perspectives on what people have understood, experienced, and
feared about the climate and its changes in the past. Chapters
explore climate and culture in Enlightenment thought; climate
debates in early America; the development of international networks
of observation; the scientific transformation of climate discourse;
and early contributions to understanding terrestrial temperature
changes, infrared radiation, and the carbon dioxide theory of
climate. But perhaps most important, this book shows what a study
of the past has to offer the interdisciplinary investigation of
current environmental problems.
