By looking at the evidence of tree-rings and ice cores, Mike Baillie, Professor of Dendrochronology at Queen's University, Belfast, has identified a series of natural catastrophes at the beginning of the fourteenth century, caused by meteor strikes. On the basis of the current scientific evidence and of contemporary accounts of the nature and spread of the disease, he is convinced that the disease was air-borne not carried by rats. This fascinating book reveals the detective that led to this revolutionary conclusion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57697446527349,"sku":"9780752435985","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780752435985.jpg?v=1793097454","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.live\/products\/9780752435985","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
