Summary
Peter Frankopan: A Changed Earth: The Untold History
When we think about history, we rarely pay much attention to the most devastating floods, the harshest winters, the most severe droughts, and the changes in ecosystems over time. In the book *The Changed Earth*, Peter Frankopan, one of the world's leading historians, shows that the natural environment is one of the key, if not the decisive, factors in the history of the world - not only mankind. Volcanic eruptions, solar activity and changes in the atmosphere, oceans and other similar phenomena are inseparable parts of the past and present, just like the action and impact of man and his creations on the environment. From this magnificent and revolutionary book we learn how our species was created; how religion and language developed and what is their mutual relationship with the natural environment; how a bureaucratic state grew out of the desire to centralize agricultural surpluses; how demands for ever-increasing yields fueled the expansion of the slave trade; and that efforts to understand weather conditions and manage them have a long and deep history. All of these are extremely important lessons at a time when we are facing accelerated global warming that makes our future uncertain.
