Interesting New Book

Dear Readers, while I was checking The Browsery at the MIT library today, I came across this new book. It may illustrate how people coped with a warming planet in the past.

The title is "The Great Warming or Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of Civilizations by Brian Fagan.

He covers the period between 800-1200 AD.

Since Arnold Toynbee discounted the importance of climate influencing civilizations, I would like to see his take on this subject.

Happy reading,

JD
