Download A Macat Analysis of Geoffrey Parker's Global Crisis: War, Climate Change and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century AudioBook Free
Distinguished British isles historian Geoffrey Parker put in 15 years writing this ambitious record of the tumultuous 17th hundred years, when countries were in the grasp of that which was known as the overall Crisis. First released in 2013, Global Turmoil reveals that freak weather was a key reason why the people of the 1600s lurched between droughts, famines, and countless wars. Plunging temps in the tiny Ice Age combined with bad politics decisions spelled disaster for people, places, and societies worldwide. Parker dubbed this a "fatal synergy" between climate change and arrogant rulers that made the problems worse and go longer. Parker draws along historical details, groundbreaking technology, and circumstance studies to offer an epic accounts of how human affairs are inexorably linked with the environment - and contributes urgency to the modern international controversy on climate change.
