A compelling new book informed by cutting-edge climate science narrates showing how climate change and ENSO have profoundly shaped Australia’s past over a variety of time scales. Joëlle Gergis explores Australia’s prehistoric, colonial, and modern history, exploring not only how the climate affected human behavior, but also how humans understood and planned for it. Both engaging and accessible, Sunburnt Country should make an enjoyable read for audiences of all levels.
