 | Floods, Famines, and Emperors: El Nino and the Fate of Civilizations (Updated Edition) by Brian M. Fagan Paperback, 368 Pages, Published 2009 ISBN-10: 0-465-00530-6 / 0465005306 ISBN-13: 978-0-465-00530-7 / 9780465005307 Before 1997, the name "El Niño" was unknown to most ordinary folks. Meteorologists, oceanographers, commercial fishers, and weather buffs knew of this periodic climatic anomaly, but to the everyday person on the street, a few degrees' difference in the Pacific Ocean's temperature was irrelevant. | |
