A Contribution to the History of Epidemics, Climate and Natural Disasters

Abstract

In 2020, Lucian Boia published a book about natural disasters from a longue durée perspective, focused on epidemics, earthquakes, and climate changes. The review un-derlines the main aspects discussed in the book, pointing out the theoretical ap-proaches used by Lucian Boia in dealing with these topics not only in the reviewed book, but also in his other books related to these topics such as The Weather in the Imagination or Probleme de geografie istorica (Problematics of Historical Geography).
