Studies in Environment and History synopsis

Climate change and the path of world history represent the first global study by a historian to integrate the New Earth System approach into new climatology with the physical history of mankind. The first part argues that geological, environmental and climatic history explains the pattern and pace of biological and human evolution.

The second part explores the environmental conditions of the rise of agriculture and the state in early and central Holocene, and provides an analysis of human health from the Stone Age through the rise of the state. The third part presents the problem of economic growth and examines the human condition in the late Hellenistic period from the Bronze Age to the Black Death.

Part IV explores the transition to modernity, emphasizing the emerging role of economic systems and human energy as factors of the Earth system in Anthroposin. Supported by climate, demographic and economic data, this provides a pioneering model for environmental, world and science historians..
