Blame It on the Rain: How the Weather Has Changed History
Description:
An amazing, enlightening, and endlessly entertaining look at how weather has shaped our world.
Throughout history, great leaders have fallen, the outcomes of mighty battles have been determined, and the tides of earth-shattering events have been turned by a powerful, inscrutable force of nature: the weather. In Blame It on the Rain, author Laura Lee explores the amazing and sometimes bizarre ways in which weather has influenced our history and helped to bring about sweeping cultural change. She also delights us with a plethora of fascinating weather-related facts (Did you know that more Britons die of sunburn every year than Australians? ), while offering readers a hilarious overview of humankind's many absurd attempts to control the elements.
