This handbook offers the first comprehensive, state-of-the-field
guide to past weather and climate and their role in human
societies. Bringing together dozens of international specialists
from the sciences and humanities, this volume describes the
methods, sources, and major findings of historical climate
reconstruction and impact research. Its chapters take the reader
through each key source of past climate and weather information and
each technique of analysis; through each historical period and
region of the world; through the major topics of climate and
history and core case studies; and finally through the history of
climate ideas and science. Using clear, non-technical language, The
Palgrave Handbook of Climate History serves as a textbook for
students, a reference guide for specialists and an introduction to
climate history for scholars and interested readers.
