Welcome back to yet another Friday Book Giveaway Traces readers! This week's spotlight book is 'Surviving Mother Nature's Tests - The effects climate change and other natural phenomena have had on the live of our ancestors', written by W.Wayne Shepheard. A special thanks to our friends from Gould Genealogy for donating the book for our giveaway!
Surviving Mother Nature’s Tests' directly relates many of the situations observed in nature to the lives of families who experienced or endured them, primarily over the past several centuries. Family historians will appreciate that natural events had wide-ranging effects on generations of people - especially in consideration of how people sought to obtain the basic necessities of food, shelter and employment - as well as influencing changes to political, economic and societal situations.
Information presented here will also be of interest to those who want an introduction to the causes and effects of climate change and its impact on the environment and human habitats of the past.
The book summarises different natural phenomena, the time periods in which they occurred and explanations of how people survived the particular tests imposed on them by Mother Nature.
