Using sources ranging from the business records of medieval monasteries to modern chemical analysis of ice cores, renowned archaeologist Brian Fagan reveals the five-hundred-year cold snap that began in the fourteenth century. As Fagan shows, the increasingly cold and stormy weather dramatically altered fishing and farming practices, and it shaped familiar events, from Norse exploration to the settlement of North America, and from the French Revolution to the Irish potato famine to the Industrial Revolution. History demonstrates that climate change does not come in gentle, easy stages--and its influence on human life is profound. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA lively and groundbreaking history, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Ice Age\u003c\/i\u003e offers essential context for understanding today's age of global warming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrian Fagan\u003c\/b\u003e (1946-2025) was one of the world's leading archaeological writers.
