圖書描述

A sweeping new history of how climate change and disease helped bring down the Roman Empire

Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome’s power—a story of nature’s triumph over human ambition.

Interweaving a grand historical narrative with cutting-edge climate science and genetic discoveries, Kyle Harper traces how the fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, climate instability, and devastating viruses and bacteria. He takes readers from Rome’s pinnacle in the second century, when the empire seemed an invincible superpower, to its unraveling by the seventh century, when Rome was politically fragmented and materially depleted. Harper describes how the Romans were resilient in the face of enormous environmental stress, until the besieged empire could no longer withstand the combined challenges of a “little ice age” and recurrent outbreaks of bubonic plague.

A poignant reflection on humanity’s intimate relationship with the environment, The Fate of Rome provides a sweeping account of how one of history’s greatest civilizations encountered and endured, yet ultimately succumbed to the cumulative burden of nature’s violence. The example of Rome is a timely reminder that climate change and germ evolution have shaped the world we inhabit—in ways that are surprising and profound.

First published in 2017.

四星半。Climate Change and the Decline of Rome 非常有意思的題目,關注人應對環境變化這一維度,算是這一單薄的領域中少有的佳作瞭。Woolf對本書提齣的一大遺憾是,人對環境的形塑與改造,以及由此引發的人與環境的矛盾,在本書中地位仍然不高。雖然Harper聲稱自己並不忽視人類力量,但他寫齣的東西好像比聲稱的要弱一些。相比來說,Harper做掉瞭相對好辦的工作(不,其實已經很難做瞭),還有下一步等待推進。
