History 1011W
Civilization and the Environment
Paper 2: Critical Analysis
Brian Fagan’s The Great Warming is a broad-ranging account of the impact of environmental
change on human civilization. The contents of such a book cannot be adequately described in a
short paper, but its methods of historical argumentation might be. Write a 4-6 page analysis of
Fagan’s historical approach. What is the central argument, and how does he support it? What
types of evidence does he employ, and what sorts of conclusions does he draw from different
sorts evidence? How does he connect the broader narrative of climatic and environmental change
to that of the specific civilizations he discusses? What are the merits and/or weaknesses of this
approach?
Your argument should be clearly reasoned, well written, and supported by evidence. Use specific
examples from the book to illustrate general claims, but don’t get so bogged down in details that
you lose sight of the larger picture. Work performed in class and in sections will help you to
develop these elements of your writing. Students requiring extra help are encouraged to contact
the University’s Center for Writing for additional support (writing.umn.edu/sws).
Papers are due Friday, December 9, by 5:00 pm.
