John Boyd may be the most remarkable unsung hero in all of American military history. Some remember him as the greatest U.S. fighter pilot ever -- the man who, in simulated air-to-air combat, defeated every challenger in less than forty seconds.

"Meet your Enemy Number One," a nervous Norwegian diplomat said to Uri Savir, the young director-general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry, as he introduced him to Abu Ala, one of Yasser Arafat’s top aides. They were in Oslo, and this was the first official encounter between Israel and the PLO. The atmosphere was tense. Savir read from prepared notes: "The aim of Israel’s elected government," he began, "is to bring about a historic reconciliation with the Palestinian people. We have no interest in only a cosmetic change of the status quo. It is not our wish to control your lives.

A professor of anthropology by training, Fagan traces the effects of climactic change on civilizations over the past 15,000 years--a period of prolonged global warning that has only accelerated over the past 150 years. In particular, he’s interested in how civilizations have responded to, or been radically altered by, changes in environment. One of Fagan’s most compelling examples is his detailed history of the city of Ur, in what is now modern-day Iraq. Once a great city in one of the world’s earliest civilizations, it first thrived thanks to abundant rainfall and then suffe
