The effects of what historians call the ";General Crisis"; extended from England to Japan, from the Russian Empire to sub-Saharan Africa. The Americas, too, did not escape the turbulence of the time. In this meticulously researched volume, master historian Geoffrey Parker presents the firsthand testimony of men and women who saw and suffered from the sequence of political, economic, and social crises between 1618 to the late 1680's. Parker also deploys the scientific evidence of climate change during this period. His discoveries revise entirely our understanding of the General Crisis: changes in prevailing weather patterns, especially longer winters and cooler and wetter summers, disrupted growing seasons and destroyed harvests. This in turn brought hunger, malnutrition, and disease; and as material conditions worsened, wars, rebellions, and revolutions rocked the world. Parker's demonstration of the link between climate change, war, and catastrophe 350 years ago stands as an extraordinary historical achievement. And the implications of his study are equally important: are we adequately prepared-or even preparing-for the catastrophes that climate change brings? 606 $aHistory, Modern$y17th century 606 $aMilitary history$y17th century 606 $aCivil war$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aRevolutions$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aDisasters$xHistory$y17th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistory, Modern 615 0$aMilitary history 615 0$aCivil war$xHistory 615 0$aRevolutions$xHistory 615 0$aClimatic changes$xSocial aspects$xHistory 615 0$aDisasters$xHistory 676 $a909.6 700 $aParker$b Geoffrey$f1933-$0923222 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910465571703321 996 $aGlobal crisis$92484612 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00911nam0-2200289 --450 001 9910633181903321 005 20221231152341.0 010 $a0865970025 010 $a0865970033$bpbk 100 $a20221231d1982----kmuy0itay5050 ba 101 0 $aeng 102 $aUS 105 $a 001yy 200 1 $aIntroduction to the study of the law of the constitution$fA.
