This highly successful book is a collection of twenty papers,
specially written by research workers in the many relevant
disciplines. First published in 1985, it was the first major survey
of both the methodology of climatic reconstruction and the problem
of climate/history interactions, and embodies the results of
fruitful co-operation between historians, archaeologists and
scientists. It discusses: the climatic information obtainable from
the study of chemical isotopes, glaciers, pollen remains, tree
rings, archaeological materials and documentary sources; the
theoretical and methodological problems involved in assessing the
impact of climate and climatic change on past societies; and
provides a series of case studies arguing for or against the
importance of climatic factors in human affairs in specific
economic, social and cultural contexts.
