From the Publisher: In 1999, few people had thought to examine the effects of climate on civilization. Now, due in part to the groundbreaking work of archaeologist Brian Fagan, climate change is a central issue. Revised and updated ten years after its first publication, Floods, Famines and Emperors remains the definitive account of how the world's best-known climate event had an indelible impact on history.

Work Description

Civilisations have long been dictated by cycles of rise and fall. The author shows beautifully how El Nino gave rise to human civilisation and continually shape and alter their fates, and how human adapt to a weather system that cycles beyond human lifetimes – or fail to.
