When we think of climate change, we often picture man-made global warming, caused by greenhouse gas emissions. But natural climate change has occurred throughout human history, and populations have had to adapt to the climate's vicissitudes. Anthony McMichael, a renowned epidemiologist and apioneer in the field of how human health relates to climate change, is the ideal person to tell this story.In Climate Change and the Health of Nations, McMichael shows how the natural environment has vast direct and indirect repercussions for human health and welfare. He takes us on a tour of human history through the lens of major transformations in climate.

As societies began to form, they too adapted in relation to their environments, most notably with the development of agriculture eleven thousand years ago.
