Description: [+] [-]

Humanity evolved in an Ice Age in which glaciers
covered much of the world. But starting about
15,000 years ago, temperatures began to climb.
Civilization and all of recorded history occurred
in this warm period, the era known as the
Holocene-the long summer of the human species. In
The Long Summer, Brian Fagan brings us the first
detailed record of climate change during these
15,000 years of warming, and shows how this
climate change gave rise to civilization. A
thousand-year chill led people in the Near East to
take up the cultivation of plant foods; a
catastrophic flood drove settlers to inhabit
Europe; the drying of the Sahara forced its
inhabitants to live along the banks of the Nile;
and increased rainfall in East Africa provoked the
bubonic plague. The Long Summer illuminates for
the first time the centuries-long pattern of human
adaptation to the demands and challenges of an
ever-changing climate-challenges that are still
with us today.

Brian Fagan was born in England and studied
archaeology at Pembroke College, Cambridge. He was
Keeper of Prehistory at the Livingstone Museum,
Zambia, from 1959-1965. During six years in Zambia
and one in East Africa, he was deeply involved in
fieldwork on multidisciplinary African history and
in monuments conservation. He came to the United
States in 1966 and was Professor of Anthropology
at the University of California, Santa Barbara,
from 1967 to 2004, when he became Emeritus.

Since coming to Santa Barbara, Brian has
specialized in communicating archaeology to
general audiences through lecturing, writing, and
other media. He is regarded as one of the world\'s
leading archaeological and historical writers and
is widely respected popular lecturer about the
past. His many books include three volumes for the
National Geographic Society, including the
bestselling Adventure of Archaeology. Other works
include The r**e of the Nile, a classic history of
archaeologists and tourists along the Nile, and
four books on ancient climate change and human
societies, Floods, Famines, and Emperors (on El
Niños), The Little Ice Age, and The Long Summer,
an account of warming and humanity since the Great
Ice Age. His most recent climatic work describes
the Medieval Warm Period: The Great Warming:
Climate Change and the Rise and Fall of
Civilizations. His other books include Chaco
Canyon: Archaeologists Explore the Lives of an
Ancient Society and Fish on Friday: Feasting,
Fasting, and the Discovery of the New World and
Cro-Magnon: How the Ice Age gave birth to the
First Modern Humans. His recently published
Elixir: A History of Water and Humankind extends
his climatic research to the most vital of all
resources for humanity.

Brian has been sailing since he was eight years
old and learnt his cruising in the English Channel
and North Sea. He has sailed thousands of miles in
European waters, across the Atlantic, and in the
Pacific. He is author of the Cruising Guide to
Central and Southern California, which has been a
widely used set of sailing directions since 1979.
An ardent bicyclist, he lives in Santa Barbara
with his life Lesley and daughter Ana.
