PDF-(READ)-The Little Ice Age: How Climate Made History 1300-1850

Only in the last decade have climatologists developed an accurate picture of yearly climate conditions in historical times This development confirmed a longstanding suspicion that the world endured a 500year cold snap The Little Ice Age that lasted roughly from AD 1300 until 1850 The Little Ice Age tells the story of the turbulent unpredictable and often very cold years of modern European history how climate altered historical events and what they mean in the context of todays global warming With its basis in cuttingedge science The Little Ice Age offers a new perspective on familiar events Renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan shows how the increasing cold affected Norse exploration how changing sea temperatures caused English and Basque fishermen to follow vast shoals of cod all the way to the New World how a generationslong subsistence crisis in France contributed to social disintegration and ultimately revolution and how English efforts to improve farm productivity in the face of a deteriorating climate helped pave the way for the Industrial Revolution and hence for global warming This is a fascinating original book for anyone interested in history climate or the new subject of how they interact. 50 50 216-100-030-001 telephone 1300 CENTOR 1300 236 867 facsimile 1300 CENFAX 1300 236 329 mail@centor.com.auwww.centor.com.au997 Kingsford Smith Drive Unit 12-13, 9 Kilto Crescent 28 Keysborough Spring . 2014.

A generation on the move, a country on the brink, and a young author\'s search to find out how we got here. Millennials and the Moments That Made Us is a cultural history of the United States, as seen through the eyes of the largest, most diverse, and most disprivileged generation in American history. The book is a relatable pop culture history that critiques the capitalist status quo our generation inherited - a critical tour of the music, movies, books, TV shows, and technology that have defined us and our times. As alarm over global warming spreads, a radical idea is gaining momentum. Forget cuts in greenhouse gas emissions, some scientists argue. Instead, bounce sunlight back into space by pumping reflective nanoparticles into the atmosphere. Launch mirrors into orbit around the Earth. Make clouds thicker and brighter to create a planetary thermostat.These ideas might sound like science fiction, but in fact they are part of a very old story. For more than a century, scientists, soldiers, and charlatans have tried to manipulate weather and climate, and like them, today\'s climate engineers wildly exaggerate what is possible. Scarcely considering the political, military, and ethical implications of managing the world\'s climate, these individuals hatch schemes with potential consequences that far outweigh anything their predecessors might have faced.Showing what can happen when fixing the sky becomes a dangerous experiment in pseudoscience, James Rodger Fleming traces the tragicomic history of the rainmakers, rain fakers, weather warriors, and climate engineers who have been both full of ideas and full of themselves. Weaving together stories from elite science, cutting-edge technology, and popular culture, Fleming examines issues of health and navigation in the 1830s, drought in the 1890s, aircraft safety in the 1930s, and world conflict since the 1940s. Killer hurricanes, ozone depletion, and global warming fuel the fantasies of today. Based on archival and primary research, Fleming\'s original story speaks to anyone who has a stake in sustaining the planet. As alarm over global warming spreads, a radical idea is gaining momentum.
