The planetary food production, although practiced since millennia, is quite complex. Holistic approaches are indispensable, however difficult to realize. Novel elements are used: the Köppen-Geiger Climate Classification System, the Graphical Network descriptions & related statistics, the demographic increase, with the focus on specific continents, the impact Climate Change on agriculture. Nine recommendations are suggested for coping with the existential challenge of feeding all humans by the end of the century. Among them, the creation of a world governance body, acting over several decades, for dealing with the feeding of the world population.

People's behaviour over the last 25 years (1971 - 1996) shows - in the moste widely differing fields - the classical pattern of a rising long wave of anxiety, which is now beginning drastically to fall. The prospect of falling wave of anxiety - which corresponds with a rising wave in the economy - makes it possible to prognosticate changes of taste, values and behaviour for the next two decades. To gain a precise insight into this, we need some prior knowledge of the long waves of the economy, of anxiety-driven behaviour and of the functionality of behaviour with regard to underlying psychological needs. So, the book begins by interweaving three theories and ends with the presentation of twenty concrete future behavioural trends.

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.
