Bruce M. S. Campbell Quote

In the case of the Great Transition, the lead-up to and fallout from the tipping point of the mid-fourteenth century extended over almost 200 years, over which time climate and society, ecology and biology, and microbes and humans were progressively transformed (Figure 1.2). On all six counts the conditions that prevailed by the 1450s were entirely different from those that had characterized the 1250s.
