The so-called 'year without a summer' also exposed weaknesses in political and theological authorities, spurring a trend toward scientific inquiry and greater democracy. An endangered New England agriculture gave impetus to that region's manufacturing sector. This book is written with the parallels between 1816 and our current 'climate change' in mind: it introduces informed non-specialists to the myriad of social, psychological, political, demographic, and economic consequences which can be brought about by abrupt change"--Provided by publisher.Climatic changesNortheastern StatesHistory19th centuryCold waves (Meteorology)Northeastern StatesHistory19th centuryClimatic changesSocial aspectsNortheastern StatesHistory19th centurySocial changeNortheastern StatesHistory19th centuryNortheastern StatesEnvironmental conditionsHistory19th centuryNortheastern StatesSocial conditions19th centuryNortheastern StatesPolitics and government19th centuryNortheastern StatesEconomic conditions19th centuryClimatic changesHistoryCold waves (Meteorology)HistoryClimatic changesSocial aspectsHistorySocial changeHistory363.34/92Dippel John Van Houten1946-1498625MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910797300803321Eighteen hundred and froze to death3724222UNINA
