The Earth Transformed: An Untold History di Peter Frankopan

2023 book #37. 2023. An exhaustive (and exhausting) review of effect of climate changes on human history. Interesting but a slow read. Lots of facts and figures but the references are not included (they are available on line). Can't say I enjoyed it. It's actually kind of scary.

Silk Roads di Peter Frankopan

A rollercoaster ride through the broad-brush narrative history of everything connected to the Middle Eastern, Persian and Turkic parts of Asia, but lacking any serious over-arching insight or point. A history this broad needs to have general, theoretical, or sociological points to make in order to make use of its data, like "The Human Web"; a book focussed on the Silk Road and East-West interaction would need to be more detailed, as "The Edge of the World" detailed the history of interaction across the North Sea. This however is really no more than a set of notes drawn from other books on various times and places. See "Africa: a biography of the continent" for an example of how this sort of book can be done much better.… (altro)

The Earth Transformed: An Untold History di Peter Frankopan

In this book historian Frankopan looks at how climate has impacted on world events. In his view the two are inextricably linked and human impact is also a driver for climatic events. This is a masterly and apposite piece of world, the polymathic knowledge and research alone is staggering. It's not a quick read but it is an extremely vital one if we are to understand the path that we are now following.
