The nature of global change in the Pacific Basin is poorly known
compared to other parts of the world. Climate, Environment, and
Society in the Pacific during the Last Millennium describes the
climate changes that occurred in the Pacific during the last
millennium and discusses how these changes controlled the broad
evolution of human societies, typically filtered by the effects of
changing sea level and storminess on food availability and
interaction. Covering the entire period since AD 750 in the
Pacific, this book describes the influences of climate change on
environments and societies during the Medieval Warm Period and the
Little Ice Age, focusing on the 100-year transition between these -
a period of rapid change known as the AD 1300 Event.
