Global Crisis: War, Climate Change and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century by Geoffrey Parker

5.0

OH MY G-D I FINISHED IT.

It's absolutely fantastic but holy moly it took me longer to read this than it did War and Peace. Don't let that dissuade you, there's seriously so much good, well-researched stuff here, showing how climate change in one particular time period completely threw the world into chaos, but it would have been nice to know about how it would take me close to a month to read it before I started reading it.

And now I'm like six books behind on my goal to read 100 books this year...oops.
