Review:

`The re-imagining of the past is entertainingly done, and a great deal of science, especially climate science, is accessibly introduced on the way' * A.C. Grayling on Cro-Magnon * `[A] fascinating account of shifting climatic conditions and their consequences' * New York Times on The Great Warming * `This is not only World History at its best, sweeping across all of humankind with a coherent vision, but also a feat of imagination and massive research' * Theodore Rabb on The Great Warming *
