KIMI, an independent publisher, released its first e-book, Climate Change and Human History, on January 28 through major online bookstores. Starting in late February, a print version will also be available via Kyobo Book Centre’s POD (Print-on-Demand) service.
This book interprets human history—specifically ancient Korean history—through the lens of "climate change," a macro-environmental factor. It essentially examines the ultimate humanities subject, "history," through the lens of natural science.
Approaching the subject with the rigor of "science humanities," the authors cast their gaze upon ancient history, which has long been accepted uncritically based on limited written records. Readers who are unfamiliar with unbiased or "extra-terrestrial" (macro-scale) thinking might find themselves shaking their heads in surprise. However, once you dive into the meticulously woven text—filled with creative yet rational logic—you will find yourself so absorbed that you may forget this is a "specialized academic book."
We highly recommend this as a "must-read" for those seeking a fresh, intellectual stimulus that stays one step ahead of the curve.
