200pp. Pictorial laminated light card covers,. 8vo. Light chipping to edges and wear to covers, corners just starting to curl. Top text block edge starting to fox and tan. Internally, neat, clean, bright and tight.

A well-argued analysis of the effect of the weather – something we all talk about all the time yet adapt remarlably well to – on human beings through the lenses of anthropology, psychology and history, partlcularly referencing weather-related catastophes such as Noah’s Flood. He considers whether human diversity and weather are related as well as the impact of local climates on human development asn asks whether climate affects the dynamics of historical progress and the rise and fall of civilizations (citing how the Nazis used climate to explaint their belief in Aryan superiority).
