Topic: Climate Change: the Little Ice Age and Its Impact on Human Societies
Professor Parker's book, “Global Crisis: War, Climate Change, and Catastrophe in the Seventeenth Century [Yale University Press, 2013]” describes the impact of the Little Ice Age on human societies around the world during the seventeenth century. Central points of the book are:

- Human societies vary greatly in their capacities to respond to the impacts of climate change. It is estimated that the Little Ice Age caused the deaths of 1/3rd of the human population during its climate impact.
