    Fagan adds another fascinating chapter to the story...
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2009*

I got interested in Brian Fagan's work because of an interest in climate change and another in archeology, which he combines to great effect in _The Long Summer_, as well as his other books, such as _The Little Ice Age_. He takes the paleoclimatological data that the researchers are developing as they study the process of global warming and climate change, and then applies it directly to the information we have from archeology and history of different cultures around the world. The result is a fascinating and new perspective on how shifting climate factors affect weather, and how that in turn contributes to the growth and collapse of cultures around the world.While these books are intended for a general audience, and Dr. Fagan clearly explains the science behind his narratives as he goes along, they are an important window into the possibilities that may face us in the future. Past cultures were unaware of the warming and cooling shifts of climate, which drove periods of harsh and unpredictable weather contributing to disasters, starvation, and the fall of governments. This provides a cautionary tale to us in the present, that we ignore the past and the present at our peril.I recommend _The Long Summer_ to anyone interested in how the conditions after the Ice Age led to the rise and flourishing of civilizations around the world, and how subsequent changes contributed to their fall. It's a fascinating read.

    Everyone interested in climate change should read it. Then you will know enough to speak without embarrassing yourself.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2017*

It is a very interesting book.  The opposite of dry and academic. I had expected a rather dry thesis on one cycle of drought.  Instead, it is a fastcinating history of climate.  It includes how climatic shifts forced the proto European peoples to move into Europe and then into the British Isles.  I learned just how recently the Sahara still received enough rainfall for livestock grazing.  I also realized that some of the struggles in the Old Testament were caused by droughts and the civilization falls that followed them.  It covers as well the changes in water currents that led to the ice age and the little ice age of only a few hundred years ago.  It explains the disappearing mammoths.  It fills in so many holes.  If you need a subject for paper or report, this book would be a great starting place.

    Climate Change and History
  

*by U***B on Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2008*

Fagan's book, one of four he's written on climate and the archaeological record, are books I highly recommend to those fearful that the world is perched on the brink of collapse.  Fagan shows that climate change, regardless of the reason, has happened time and time again over earth's history.  It has winners and losers.  But the way that humans have been able to lessen the impact time and again has been with technological and sociological adaptation.
