The year without summer : 1816 and the volcano that darkened the world and changed history
1816 was a remarkable year - mostly for the fact that there was no summer. As a result of a volcanic eruption in Indonesia, weather patterns were disrupted worldwide for months. This book examines the climate change engendered by this event, and also its effects on politics, the economy, the arts, and social structures.
