William F. Ruddiman
The impact on climate from 200 years of industrial development is an everyday fact of life, but did humankind's active involvement in climate change really begin with the industrial revolution, as commonly believed? This title argues that humans have been changing the climate for some 8,000 years - as a result of the discovery of agriculture.
