The Great History of our Climate

Clothilde Chamussy, Lucas Pacotte

Release date : 11/04/2024

What does climate exactly mean ? What are the reasons for its
variations ? How can we know about the climate in the past ?
How did human beings adapt all along history and how can
they face the changes yet to come ?
These are the questions archeologists Lucas Pacotte and
Clothilde Chamussy are... What does climate exactly mean ? What are the reasons for its
variations ? How can we know about the climate in the past ?
How did human beings adapt all along history and how can
they face the changes yet to come ?
These are the questions archeologists Lucas Pacotte and
Clothilde Chamussy are trying to answer. In this comprehensive
and exhaustive work illustrated with maps and charts, they show
and explain major climate events of the past like the receeding
of the glaciers, the brutal cooling of the Atlantic Ocean, the
Sahara once covered with lakes and meadows, the downfall of
the Bronze Age, the little Ice Age of the Middle Ages and many
more. They also show how, each time the geography of our
planet has changed, peoples have evolved and adapted.
Preparing for the present crisis stimulates the imagination,
pushes to envisage the key-phases to come and to assess the
risks. We see that ‘ the climate’ and ‘the environment’ are no
longer abstract concepts but key factors to the narrative of
human History.
An instructive and detailed essay resuming the major changes
of climate throughout the History of Humanity as well as the
strategies developed by our forebears to face and overcome
theses crises.
