Nature's Mutiny: How the Little Ice Age of the Long Seventeenth Century Transformed the West and Shaped the Present by Philipp Blom

4.0

The book starts with the advent on the little ice age in the 16th and 17th centuries. It covers some of the initial effects of the change in climate, the chilling of the earth and the rains that ruined the crops of wheat, thus causing famine. Then the book takes off into all the events that follows with the changes in custom and traditions. From their he builds to a new dependency on the changing government. I didn't see all the connections as necessarily following and building on each other. There were changes, but I didn't always follow the author's reasoning.
Anyway, the history of changes and developments that occurred showed me a lot of the development of history.
