Reviews

'I do most strongly recommend it.' - Richard Hill The Naval Review 'The book is impressive in its coverage of eleven centuries of European history and the synthesis of considerable literature on climate change. Brown clearly has an informed appreciation for European social, economic and demographic and environmental history.' - Georgina H. Endfield, The Geographical Journal.
