Review: Climate and Society in Europe. The Last Thousand Years

Climate and Society in Europe - The last 1000 years by Christian Pfister and Heinz Wanner brings together the views of two pioneering scholars in climate history and paleo-climatology to provide an overview of existing scientific knowledge into climate change and its effects on populations in Europe in the last millennium.

For Dagomar Degroot (Washington), this partnership has resulted in an invaluable resource that presents in a rigorous and accessible way the findings of both disciplines and offers a sound introduction «that could well spur a new wave of teaching and research into the influence of climate change in European history».

The full review of the book is available online on infoclio.ch and HSozKult.
