Dagomar Degroot is Associate Professor of Environmental History at Georgetown University. A contributor to the Washington Post, Nature and Aeon, he is the author of The Frigid Golden Age: Climate Change, the Little Ice Age, and the Dutch Republic, 1560–1720, named one of the ten best history books of 2018 by the Financial Times.

A stunning history of how we've come to understand environmental change on Earth and on other worlds in our solar system. But Ripples on the Cosmic Ocean also offers so much more than that. Degroot masterfully illustrates how science progresses - its past misapprehensions and failures as much as its triumphs of elucidation - and how our growing knowledge of the cosmos has shaped human affairs. A rich, eye-opening tapestry, and beautifully told!
