Specificatii
When Europeans first arrived in North America, they faced a cold
new world. The average global temperature had dropped to lows
unseen in millennia, and its effects were stark and unpredictable:
blizzards and deep freezes, droughts and famines, and winters when
even the Rio Grande froze. This period of climate change has come
to be known as the Little Ice Age, and it played a decisive role in
Europe's encounter with the lands and peoples of North America. In
A Cold Welcome, Sam White tells the story of this crucial period in
world history, from Europe's earliest expeditions in an unfamiliar
landscape to the perilous first winters at Santa Fe, Quebec, and
Jamestown.Weaving together evidence from climatology, archaeology,
and the written historical record, White describes how the severity
and volatility of the Little Ice Age climate threatened to freeze
and starve out the Europeans' precarious new settlements. Lacking
basic provisions and wholly unprepared to fend for themselves under
such harsh conditions, Europeans suffered life-threatening
privation, and their desperation precipitated violent conflict with
Native Americans.In the twenty-first century, as we confront an
uncertain future from global warming, A Cold Welcome reminds us of
the risks of a changing and unfamiliar climate.
