Descrizione libro Hardback. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. First Edition. THE LONG SUMMER. How Climate Changed Civilisation. Brian Fagan. Granta Publications, London 2004 First edition. ISBN 1862076448 284pp Hardback. This copy is in new condition in a new unclipped dustwrapper, this has been covered in clear, removable, mylar, protective film. A professor of anthropology by training, Brian Fagan traces the effects of climate change on civilisation over the past 15,000 years--a period of prolonged global warming that has accelerated in the past 150 years. In particular, he's interested in how civilisations have responded to, or been radically altered by, changes in environment. One of Fagan's most compelling examples is a detailed history of the city of Ur in what is now Iraq. Once a great city in one of the world's earliest civilisations, it first thrived thanks to abundant rainfall and then suffered severely when the Indian Ocean monsoons shifted southward, changing rain patterns. By 2000 BC its agricultural economy had collapsed, and today it is an abandoned landscape, an assemblage of decaying shrines in the harshest of deserts. Ref Q 1. Codice articolo 006979
