This paper tries to review the recent studies on the climatic reconstruction of Japan in historical times using weather records. Also it discusses the possibility and effectiveness of the quantification of historical data sources. An attempt is also
made to summarize future prospects in the field of historical climatology of Japan in comparison with that of other countries. - (SGA)

The A. argues that some projects concerning the relationship between race and place were made to carry the weight of their advocates' moral evaluations of ethnic difference. There were the study of ethnoclimatology, the relationship between climate
La climatologie historique s'est surtout focalisée, jusqu'à présent, sur la reconstitution du climat des quelques siècles précédant la période où l'on dispose de données instrumentales, au détriment de l'étude de la vulnérabilité des sociétés

The 1815 eruption of Tambora volcano (Sumbawa island, Indonesia) expelled around 140 gt of magma, making it the largest known historic eruption. 71 000 people died. The eruption injected 60 mt of sulfur into the stratosphere, which resulted
in pronounced climate pertubations : anomalously cold weather the following year, and widesread crop failures. These events provide important insights into the volcanic forcing of climate, and the global risk of future eruptions on this scale.
in past times. This paper summarises the basics of the relationship between viticulture and climate in the Czech Lands. We compile historical vations before AD 1500 and for the 16th-18th centuries from various types of documentary evidence. Times
The cultivation of vine (Vinis vinifera) that yields grapes for wine manufacture is strongly influenced by the weather. This relationship enables the use of historical viticultural data for the reconstruction of temperatures and weather extremes

half of this century is one of the periods which is sufficiently documented in historical sources. In spite of certain limitations, by means of additional information it is possible to present satisfactorily the weather and the climate of that time
Climate and weather conditions in the Slovenian lands from the time before regular and continuous meteorological measurements began are but poorly known. Investigations in began as late as the beginning of the 17th century; particularly the second
societies articulate knowledge about climate and the environment, and how they respond to climatic variability. The study draws on Mexico's rich colonial archives and provides a historical perspectives on the complex relationship between climate
This book examines the impact of climate change on colonial Mexico. By considering three case-study regions (Chihuahua's arid Conchos basin, the lush Oaxaca valley, and Guanajuato in the Bajio of Mexico) it offers insights into how different

This paper attempts an evaluation of such climate fluctuations, as those of the Little Ice Age, from the point of view of historical data on carp culture. In the climate of Central Europe, carp growth is limited by temperature, especially in periods
of unfavourable thermal conditions, and by water - in periods of drought. A tracing of the history of carp culture in the southern and western parts of Poland, where hydrological, climatic and geological conditions have been suitable for the development of fish
farms, has made it possible to trace climate fluctuations since the Middle Ages onwards.
Ce livre reprend, à partir de certains textes de chroniques et de la linguistique, les méthodes et techniques de prévision du climat à l'époque précolombienne réalisées à partir des indicateurs naturels. - (HG)
This article deals with aspects of the historical geography of the Faeroe Islands in the 19th century with a focus on animal production, i.e. sheep and cows. It is based on material from the Regional Archive, Foroya Landsskjalasavn. The aim
of this article is to discuss the influence of variations in climatic conditions. Newly compiled time-series are evaluated as climate proxy data and some methodological problems are examined.
