In 1624 the Dutch West India Company established the colony of Brazil. Only thirty years later the Dutch Republic handed over the colony to Portugal never to return to the South Atlantic. Because Dutch Brazil was the first sustained Protestant colony in Iberian America the events there became major news in early modern Europe and shaped a lively print culture. In Amsterdam s Atlantic historian Michiel van Groesen shows how the rise and tumultuous fall of Dutch Brazil marked the emergence of a public Atlantic centered around Holland s capital city. Amsterdam served as Europe s main hub for news from the Atlantic world and breaking reports out of Brazil generated great excitement in the city which reverberated throughout the continent. Initially the flow of information was successfully managed by the directors of the West India Company. However when Portuguese sugar planters revolted against the Dutch regime and tales of corruption among leading administrators in Brazil emerged they lost their hold on the media landscape and reports traveled more freely. Fueled by the powerful local print media popular discussions about Brazil became so bitter that the Amsterdam authorities ultimately withdrew their support for the colony. The self-inflicted demise of Dutch Brazil has been regarded as an anomaly during an otherwise remarkably liberal period in Dutch history and consequently generations of historians have neglected its significance. Amsterdam s Atlantic puts Dutch Brazil back on the front pages and argues that the way the Amsterdam media constructed Atlantic events was a key element in the transformation of public opinion in Europe.

When we think of climate change we often picture man-made global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions. But natural climate change has occurred throughout human history and populations have had to adapt to the climate s vicissitudes. Anthony McMichael a renowned epidemiologist and a pioneer in the field of how human health relates to climate change is the ideal person to tell this story. In Climate Change and the Health of Nations McMichael shows how the natural environment has vast direct and indirect repercussions for human health and welfare. He takes us on a tour of human history through the lens of major transformations in climate. From the very beginning of our species some five million years ago human biology has evolved in response to cooling temperatures new food sources and changing geography. As societies began to form they too adapted in relation to their environments most notably with the development of agriculture eleven thousand years ago. Agricultural civilization was a Faustian bargain however: the prosperity and comfort that an agrarian society provides relies on the assumption that the environment will largely remain stable. Indeed for agriculture to succeed environmental conditions must be just right which McMichael refers to as the Goldilocks phenomenon. Global warming is disrupting this balance just as other climate-related upheavals have tested human societies throughout history. As McMichael shows the break-up of the Roman Empire the bubonic Plague of Justinian and the mysterious collapse of Mayan civilization all have roots in climate change. Why devote so much analysis to the past when the daunting future of climate change is already here? Because the story of mankind as previous survival in the face of an unpredictable and unstable climate and of the terrible toll that climate change can take could not be more important as we face the realities of a warming planet. This sweeping magnum opus is not only a rigorous innovative and fascinating exploration of how the climate affects the human condition but also an urgent call to recognize our species utter reliance on the earth as it is.
