This book offers a deeper historical context to the interplay
between the physical fortunes of climate and weather and the ways
in which the Tamil society experienced it in the medieval age. It
touches upon the rainfall, famines and droughts, storms and
cyclones, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, temperature and
atmospheric pressure of the modern age, noticed by the Catholic and
Protestant missionaries, European traders, travellers, the East
India Company officials and servants using scientific instruments.
Based on a greater variety of Tamil sources, missionary letters and
reports, British and French colonial records, the monograph
presents the reading of history through the lens of climate change
and provides a more complete picture of Tamil landscape and
environment in South India from the ninth to the nineteenth
century. Print edition not for sale in South Asia (India, Sri
Lanka, Nepal, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Bhutan)
