Plows, Plagues, And Petroleum
Traces the historical sweep of human interaction with Earth's climate. This book takes readers through 3 stages of human history: when nature was in control; when humans began to take control, discovering agriculture and affecting climate through carbon dioxide and methane emissions; and, finally, the human impact on climate change.
