Vor etwa 12 000 Jahren entwickelten Menschen im so genannten Fruchtbaren Halbmond Ackerbau und Viehzucht – und damit eine fundamental andere Lebensweise als das bisherige Dasein als Jäger und Sammler. Doch noch immer ranken sich viele Rätsel um diese "neolithische Revolution": Wie schnell gelang dieser Umbruch, und wie breitete er sich letztendlich weltweit aus? War es wirklich eine Revolution – oder eher eine langsame Evolution an mehreren Orten gleichzeitig? Und welche Auswirkungen hatte die Ernährungsumstellung auf das Erbgut des Menschen – man denke nur an die Unverträglichkeitsreaktion vieler Menschen auf Milch und daraus gewonnene Produkte

Pre-modern critical interactions of nature and society can best be studied during the so-called "Crisis of the 14th Century". While historiography has long ignored the environmental framing of historcial processes and scientists have over-emphasized nature's impact on the course of human history, this volume tries to describe the at times complex modes of the late-medieval relationship of man and nature. The idea of 'teleconnection', borrowed from the geosciences, describes the influence of atmospheric circulation patterns often over long distances. It seems that there were 'teleconnections' in society, too. So this volumes aims to examine man-environment interactions mainly in the 14th century from all over Europe and beyond. It integrates contributions from different disciplines on impact, perception and reaction of environmental change and natural extreme events on late Medieval societies. For humanists from all historical disciplines it offers an approach how to integrate written and even scientific evidence on environmental change in established and new fields of historical research. For scientists it demonstrates the contributions scholars from the humanities can provide for discussion on past environmental changes.

Could the concepts of »metropolitanism« and »thick space« aid our understanding of historical and contemporary urban change? Essays by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic provide interdisciplinary approaches to the complex dynamics of large-scale urbanization. The book opens with conceptual questions regarding the development of metropoles and metropolitan studies. The following sections provide analyses of the social, environmental, and cultural dimensions of metropolitan spaces from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective, such as the role of planning and urban parks, the impact of ethnic diversity and segregation, the place of cinematic visions or the centrality of infrastructures and architecture.
