Summary:
When we think of "climate change," we think of man-made global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions. But natural climate change has occurred throughout human history, and populations have had to adapt to its vicissitudes. Tony McMichael, an epidemiologist and a pioneer in the field of how human health relates to climate change, is a guide to this phenomenon. He presents an analysis of how human societies have been shaped by climate events. -- Provided by publisher.
