About this title: This study of how history--including, for example, the Irish potato famine--was affected by climate and weather focuses on "the little Ice Age," the period from the 14th through the 19th centuries. Fagan closes with a chapter on global warming and the lessons that can be drawn from evidence he presented.

"So often the forces that shape history are barely acknowledged in history courses. Here's an example: the little ice age which determined SO MUCH of what happened politically, socially and economically from 1300 to 1850! And as a history major, I had NEVER heard anyone mention it! This interesting account will give insight into how much weather shapes history."
"Pretty good book--combination of climate history and world history, with some discussion of how the former influenced the latter. A bit on the dry side, but interesting."
