Throughout human history, large or recurrent El NinÌos could cause significant disruption to societies and in some cases even contribute to political change. Yet it is only now that we are coming to appreciate the significance of the phenomenon. In this volume, Richard Grove and George Adamson chart the dual history of El NinÌo: as a global phenomenon capable of devastating weather extremes and, since the 18th century, as a developing idea in science and society. The chapters trace El NinÌo's position in world history from its role in the revolution in Australian Aboriginal Culture at 5,000 BP to the 2015-16 'Godzilla' event. It ends with a discussion of El Nino in the current media, which is as much a product of the public imagination as it is a natural process. 651 0 $a El NinÌo Current. 650 0 $a Southern oscillation. 650 0 $a Human ecology $x History. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x History. 650 0 $a World history. 650 7 $a El-NinÌo-PhaÌnomen $2 gnd 650 7 $a Climatic changes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00864229 650 7 $a Human ecology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00962941 650 7 $a Southern oscillation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01127342 650 7 $a World history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01181345 651 7 $a Pacific Ocean $z El NinÌo Current. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01243836 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Adamson, George, $e author. 830 0 $a Palgrave studies in world environmental history 941 $a 1 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20181010010831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CE170C42CC5111E8987A620997128E48 994 $a Z0 $b NIUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
