Book Description
The "Urban Pirate Reader And Idle Chatter" was written as a therapeutic, non-violent outlet, explaining individual daily behaviors, often witnessed social outbursts, prose, poetry, dreams, white lies and realities as I remember them or as others rattle them off in stupors caused by any number of physical or mental indulgences. Or merely the echoes of other urban pirates lost in the sea of humanity, treading the waters of life and just trying to survive. Age is the rider of forgetfulness wearing sagging armor, while trying to fight the inner demons of self control with a pocketful of ice cubes. Stitch Frizbin

Nature's Mutiny: How the Little Ice Age of the Long Seventeenth Century Transformed the West and Shaped the Present
Author: Philipp Blom
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631494058
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
An illuminating work of environmental history that chronicles the great climate crisis of the 1600s, which transformed the social and political fabric of Europe. Although hints of a crisis appeared as early as the 1570s, the temperature by the end of the sixteenth century plummeted so drastically that Mediterranean harbors were covered with ice, birds literally dropped out of the sky, and “frost fairs” were erected on a frozen Thames—with kiosks, taverns, and even brothels that become a semi-permanent part of the city. Recounting the deep legacy and far-ranging consequences of this “Little Ice Age,” acclaimed historian Philipp Blom reveals how the European landscape had suddenly, but ineradicably, changed by the mid-seventeenth century. While apocalyptic weather patterns destroyed entire harvests and incited mass migrations, they gave rise to the growth of European cities, the emergence of early capitalism, and the vigorous stirrings of the Enlightenment. A timely examination of how a society responds to profound and unexpected change, Nature’s Mutiny will transform the way we think about climate change in the twenty-first century and beyond.
