About the book: 2021 / We rarely have to think about the fact that climate influences the course of history. What caused the birth of the three great civilizations of antiquity - Egyptian, Mesopotamian and Indo-Harrapian? How did an average global drop in temperature of just half a degree make everyone talk about global warming, melting glaciers, a global flood? Did you know that the Time of Troubles, and before it the “unfortunate reign” of Boris Godunov, gave rise to a sharp change in climate - a catastrophic cooling. According to the testimony of contemporaries, on July 28, 1601, “in Moscow, in the middle of the summer, great snow fell and there was frost, we rode in sleighs.” And what can we say if the temperature in the last century was much lower than now: Dostoevsky’s characters wore coats in the summer. In fact, our entire civilization is the product of a short period of “thaw”. 400 years before Ovid, neither grapes nor olives ripened even in Rome. One of the most difficult scientific problems - to trace the impact of climate on human history - is solved by the author in a surprisingly engaging way! This is an investigation with a bunch of facts, non-standard examples and unexpected evidence confirming: climate cuisine is perhaps one of the most difficult to explain processes with which humanity is familiar.
