Hailed as an arresting (Lawrence Klepp New Criterion) account Nature's Mutiny chronicles the great climate crisis of the seventeenth century that totally transformed Europe's social and political fabric. Best-selling historian Philipp Blom reveals how a new radically altered Europe emerged out of the Little Ice Age that diminished crop yields across the continent forcing thousands to flee starvation in the countryside to burgeoning urban centers and even froze London's Thames upon which British citizens erected semipermanent frost fairs with bustling kiosks taverns and brothels. Highlighting how politics and culture also changed drastically Blom evokes the era's most influential artists and thinkers who imagined groundbreaking worldviews to cope with environmental cataclysm. As we face a climate crisis of our own Blom's prodigious synthesis delivers a sharply-focused lesson for the twenty-first century: the profound effects of just a few degrees of climate change can alter the course of civilization forever (Laurence A. Marschall Natural History).
