Most people can name the influential leaders and major battles of the past. Few can name the most destructive storms, the worst winters, and the most devastating droughts.
In The Earth Transformed, ground-breaking historian Peter Frankopan shows that engagement with the natural world and with climatic change and their effects on us are not new: exploring, for instance, the development of religion and language and their relationships with the environment; tracing how growing demands for harvests resulted in the increased shipment of enslaved peoples; scrutinising how the desire to centralise agricultural surplus formed the origins of the bureaucratic state; and seeing how efforts to understand and manipulate the weather have a long and deep history. Understanding how past shifts in natural patterns have shaped history, and how our own species has shaped terrestrial, marine and atmospheric conditions is not just important but essential at a time of growing awareness of the severity of the climate crisis.
Taking us from the Big Bang to the present day, The Earth Transformed forces us to reckon with humankind’s continuing efforts to make sense of the natural world.

” A sweeping new history of how climate change and disease helped bring down the Roman Empire
Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome’s power - a story of nature’s triumph over human ambition.”

Population decline was Rome’s story. The Antonine Plague of AD 165-180 indeed began a pop decline for Rome which never abated, making it more susceptible to waves of barbarian attacks (such groups wished to be Roman, not to wholly destroy). In many parts (of Gaul & Italy) the experience was more transition than apocalyptic/apocryphal collapse.
However, for amnesiacs: East Roman Emp continued for a millennium longer.
