The Forgotten Age: Exogenous Climate Shocks and Social Changes in Western Europe in the 17th Century
History被遗忘的年代：气候的外生冲击与17世纪西欧社会变迁
Sun Yifei
Based on the use of historical documents of 17th-century Western European society and the synthesis of relevant Western research, this book outlines the social landscape of Western Europe in this "forgotten century (by historians)" and demonstrates the complexity of Western European society and the various development possibilities it faces during its evolution. The author chooses climate, population, military, civilization and other angles to write about this topic. He further elaborates on the relationship between climate and society and civilization in the 17th century, integrating a novel environmental history perspective. This is an area that is rarely covered by similar domestic works.
