And I always felt this wasn't history. The Earth Transformed tells a meaningful global history - about people, societies and civilisations. As the author says, the environment (and especially climate and weather) isn't just an actor on the stage that most histories ignore - it is the stage, and when the stage collapses (which it often does) the show can't go on.Arguing that climate has repeatedly brought down civilisations has become overly fashionable but this isn't the line this book takes - societies collapse when they fail to respond to climate or prepare for adverse weather, and they are then replaced by more appropriate ones. Time after time, this is what we can learn from history. Time after time, we ignore the lesson.The Earth Transformed has been criticised as lacking a clear and convincing central message. But this is exactly the point. History is messy. Human society is messy. Real life ain't simple. It's so refreshing to read a grown up book that doesn't grasp for populist platitudes.There are flaws in this book. Sometimes, the author's love of history cause him to stray from his central theses. And in the final chapters, he seems unable to get across the magnitude of the impact of our current 'Great Acceleration' and how the risks we are exposed to now dwarf those of former civilisations. I also think he has missed an opportunity to draw out comparisons between our current predicament and those that human societies have faced in the past. So his very last chapter is less history and more environmental polemic (and therefore more derivative than it could be).But it is nonetheless a monumental, sweeping, illuminating, intelligent, challenging, rewarding, masterful and astonishing achievement. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Great 👍 *by G***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2024* I really liked this book which focuses on the climate and how it has impacted humanity from our origins to the present. The author argues that the climate has effected the rise and fall of civilizations, the outcomes of conflict and how and why we are making climate change worse in the present. Although it can be heavy going at times, I really enjoyed this book and it deserves 5 stars out of 5. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Must read book. *by R***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2024* Must read paperback book delivered undamaged and on time.Purchase recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/597833617-the-earth-transformed-an-untold-history](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/597833617-the-earth-transformed-an-untold-history) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-26*
