Nothing could seem more contemporary than climate change. Yet in Chaos in the Heavens Jean-Baptiste Fressoz and Fabien Locher show that we have been thinking about and debating the consequences of our actions upon the environment for centuries. The subject was raised wherever history accelerated: by the conquistadors in the New World by the French revolutionaries of 1789 by the scientists and politicians of the nineteenth century by the European imperialists in Asia and Africa until the Second World War. Climate change was at the heart of fundamental debates about colonisation God the state nature and capitalism. From these intellectual and political battles emerged key concepts of contemporary environmental science and policy. For a brief interlude science and industry instilled in us the reassuring illusion of an impassive climate. But in the age of global warming we must once again confront the chaos in the heavens.
