"The Double Catastrophe" by Dominik Collet examines the devastating effects of the subsistence crisis at the end of the 18th century in Europe, triggered by climatic and cultural factors. This crisis, which occurred during the Little Ice Age, led to massive famines and claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. Collet analyzes the far-reaching consequences of this catastrophe, which not only resulted in significant migrations and discrimination but also spurred political reforms and the emergence of new scientific disciplines. The book connects various historical events, including the Steelboys revolts in Ireland and the absolutist upheaval in Sweden, highlighting the complex interactions between the environment and society. Collet advocates for a socionatural approach to historiography that places the interconnections between nature and human society at its core.
