This new study of senates in small powers across the North Atlantic
shows that the establishment and the reform of these upper
legislative houses have followed remarkably parallel trajectories.
Senate reforms emerged in the wake of deep political crises within
the North Atlantic world and were influenced by the comparatively
weak positions of small powers. Reformers responded to crises and
constantly looked beyond borders and oceans for inspiration to keep
their senates relevant. The Open Access version of this book,

A fascinating handbook providing a rare synthesis of the
environmental history of northern Europe from the Paleolithic era
to the present day. Of interest to students and academics alike,
this book provides a much-needed synthesis of the recent literature
on northern Europe's environmental history. Beginning with the
Paleolithic period and the recolonization of Europe after the Ice
Age, this book maps out the key environmental trends in the history
of the region's environment and its interaction with the human
population. The book also highlights how dramatic events outside
Europe, such as the Tomboro volcanic eruption in Indonesia in 1815,
had dramatic consequences for the region's climate. Given the
culturally diverse nature of modern Europe, a vital aspect of the
book is its identification of the common themes that unite the
interaction of the region's nation-states with the natural
environment. Part of ABC-CLIO's Nature and Human Societies series,
the book enables readers to better grasp the extent of humanity's
effect on our world.
