The Earth Transformed
The Earth Transformed: An Untold History | Peter Frankopan
10 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF THE YEAR: A revolutionary new history that reveals how climate change has dramatically shaped the developmentand demiseof civilizations across time Global warming is one of the greatest dangers mankind faces today. Even as temperatures increase, sea levels rise, and natural disasters escalate, our current environmental crisis feels difficult to predict and understand. But climate change and its effects on us are not new. In a bold narrative that spans centuries and continents, Peter Frankopan argues that nature has always played a fundamental role in the writing of history. From the fall of the Moche civilization in South America that came about because of the cyclical pressures of El Nio to volcanic eruptions in Iceland that affected Egypt and helped bring the Ottoman empire to its knees, climate change and its influences have always been with us. Frankopan explains how the Vikings emerged thanks to catastrophic crop failure, why the roots of regime change in eleventh-century Baghdad lay in the collapse of cotton prices resulting from unusual climate patterns, and why the western expansion of the frontiers in North America was directly affected by solar flare activity in the eighteenth century. Again and again, Frankopan shows that when past empires have failed to act sustainably, they have been met with catastrophe. Blending brilliant historical writing and cutting-edge scientific research, The Earth Transformed will radically reframe the way we look at the world and our future.

#LitSolace #Hyggehourreadathon

How are you planning on spending your Sunday #hyggehour tonight?

I shall be writing my cards for #MSScardswap and continuing travelling through the history of the earth in this amazing book (tagged).

Whatever you're doing, I hope it's restorative and helps set you up for the week ahead. X

Today's selection for reading and relaxation, in between the many gardening tasks. To be fair, I haven't done anything but sit in the sunshine with my niece and her daughter this morning. It's been bliss.

#Litsolace

For our #HyggehourReadathon tonight, I'm sitting outside under my apple trees. Alternating between reading #NaturaLitsy #buddyread (tagged) and daydreaming to the sound of birdsong and buzzing insects.
I'm feeling quite blissful for the first time in months 😊

#HyggehourReadathon

Aargh, I completely lost track of the days! Sorry. It's a bit late, but hopefully, you're well into the habit now.

I've really missed these weekly communal reads. I'm really looking forward to resuming them.

I plan on a candlelit bath listening to #NaturaLitsy current read (tagged).

What are your plans?

#Naturalitsy

Wow, 1st of May!! It's been a while, and I'm sorry for that.

Our next #buddyread is a read at your own pace. I've also extended the read time into June, too, as it's a chunkster.
