This is an automatically translated description

Military or economic power is usually enough to conquer the world. It is not enough to conquer the weather. No empire in history has succeeded. A powerful opponent - the weather - defeats everyone.

An experienced journalist and entertaining storyteller, Marcus Rosenlund, travelling through the centuries with a time machine, demonstrates how the weather has destroyed entire civilisations and determined the winners of wars. Through the intertwining of scientific facts with history and social sciences, you will learn what the connection is between fairy trolls and climate change, between Edvard Munch's The Scream and a volcanic eruption, between the defeats of great generals and the vagaries of the elements. However, this book is not a collection of dry facts. By explaining complex things in simple words, sometimes with humour, the author warns against what can happen if we neglect the global warming of our time.

«The Weather That Changed the World» – is an absolute gift for lovers of artistic reporting, climatology and history.
