- This 115,000-word monograph is the product of seven years of research and involved bringing together the disciplines of climatology, science history, economic and social history, and diaspora studies to make a new argument on climatic causation and migration. The eight chapters contain an extensive assemblage of short and long-run climate data – covering some 250 years – and sets of migration, demographic and economic data, producing 25 figures and 69 tables. The monograph drew upon cross-disciplinary secondary material to analyse these data as well as manuscript sources gathered from several archives in Scotland, England, Canada and the United States.
