Examining firsthand accounts of the crises and scrutinizing the prevailing weather patterns during the 1640's and 1650's-longer and harsher winters, and cooler and wetter summers-Parker reveals evidence of disrupted growing seasons causing malnutrition, disease, a higher death toll, and fewer births. This new abridged edition distills the original book's prodigious research for a broader audience while retaining and indeed emphasizing Parker's extraordinary historical achievement: his dazzling demonstration of the link between climate change and worldwide catastrophe 350 years ago. Yet, the contemporary implications of his study are equally important: are we prepared today for the catastrophes that climate change could bring tomorrow? At half the original length, this user-friendly abridgment is ideal for students and general readers seeking a rapid handle on the key issues. 606 $aHistory, Modern$y17th century 606 $aMilitary history$y17th century 606 $aCivil war$xHistory$y17th century 615 0$aHistory, Modern 615 0$aMilitary history 615 0$aCivil war$xHistory 676 $a909.6 686 $aHIS037000$aHIS037040$2bisacsh 700 $aParker$b Geoffrey$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0123139 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792946303321 996 $aGlobal crisis$91077699 997 $aUNINA
