Post -- Climate and the role of the sun / John A. Eddy -- The reconstruction of climatic sequences from botanical data / Thompson Webb III -- Past climate reconstructed from tree rings / Harold C. Fritts, G. Robert Lofgren, and Geoffrey A. Gordon -- Isotype evidence from past climatic and environmental change / Alexander T. Wilson -- Botanical and chemical evidence of climatic change : a comment / Donald G. Baker -- Climate and history : priorities for research / David Hackett Fischer -- The historian and the climatologist research notes / Theodore K. Rabb -- Grape harvests from the fifteenth through the nineteenth centuries / Emmanuel le Roy, Ladurie and Micheline Baulant -- Analysis of viticultural data by cumulative deviations / Barbara Bell.
The effect of climate on historical change represents an exciting frontier for reading and research. In this volume, scholars contribute to an area of interdisciplinary study which has not been systematically explored by climatologists and historians working together.
