Brian M. Fagan has 2 upcoming events.  Brian Fagan-"The Attacking Ocean" Warwick's and the San Diego Law Library present Emeritus Professor of Anthropology at UCSB, Brian Fagan who returns to Warwick's on Wednesday, June 12th at 7:30pm to discuss and sign The attacking ocean as part of the San Diego Law Library's Writers & the Law series. About the book: The past fifteen thousand years--the entire span of human civilization--have witnessed dramatic sea level changes, which began with rapid global warming at the end of the Ice Age, when sea levels were more than 700 feet below modern levels. Over the next eleven millennia, the oceans climbed in fits and starts. These rapid changes had little effect on those humans who experienced them, partly because there were so few people on earth, and also because they were able to adjust readily to new coastlines. Global sea levels stabilized about six thousand years ago except for local adjustments that caused often quite significant changes to places like the Nile Delta. So the curve of inexorably rising seas flattened out as urban civilizations developed in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and South Asia. The earth's population boomed, quintupling from the time of Christ to the Industrial Revolution. The threat from the oceans increased with our crowding along shores to live, fish, and trade.
Since 1860, the world has warmed significantly and the ocean's climb has speeded. The sea level changes are cumulative and gradual; no one knows when they will end. The attacking ocean, from celebrated author Brian Fagan, tells a tale of the rising complexity of the relationship between humans and the sea at their doorsteps, a complexity created not by the oceans, which have changed but little. What has changed is us, and the number of us on earth.
About the San Diego Law Library: The San Diego Law Library is the only community resource dedicated to helping people learn about and use the law to solve problems, access justice and take advantage of opportunities.

Brian M. Fagan has 2 media appearances.
Brian M. Fagan has 2 past events. (show)  Brian Fagan discusses and signs Beyond the Blue Horizon Archaeologist and historian Brian Fagan tackles his richest topic yet: the enduring quest to master the oceans, the planet's most mysterious terrain. We know the tales of Columbus and Captain Cook, yet much earlier mariners made equally bold and world-changing voyages. From the moment when ancient Polynesians first dared to sail beyond the horizon, the mastery of the oceans changed the course of human history. With compelling detail, Fagan reveals how seafaring evolved from bamboo rafts to Norse longboats, transforming forbidding realms of the sea gods into a nexus of commerce and cultural exchange.
This discussion is free and open to the public. Those wishing to get books signed will be asked to purchase at least one copy of Beyond the blue horizon from Vroman's, and one additional copy for every 3 books they bring from home. Save your Vroman's receipt; it will be checked when you enter the signing line.
