Requests:  0 Summary:  From the 10th to the 15th centuries the earth experienced a rise in surface temperature that changed climate worldwide--a preview of today's global warming. In some areas, including Western Europe, longer summers brought bountiful harvests and population growth that led to cultural flowering. In the Arctic, Inuit and Norse sailors made cultural connections across thousands of miles as they traded precious iron goods. Polynesian sailors, riding new wind patterns, were able to settle the remotest islands on earth. But in many parts of the world, the warm centuries brought drought and famine. Elaborate societies in western and Central America collapsed, and the vast building complexes of Chaco Canyon and the Mayan Yucatan were left empty. Anthropologist and historian Brian Fagan reveals how subtle changes in the environment had far-reaching effects on human life, in a narrative that sweeps from the Arctic ice cap to the Sahara to the Indian Ocean.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList CLOSED TEMPORARILY: Honokaa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 904.5 Fa Checked In Add Copy to MyList
