One of a kind, this publishing house has been run for 150 years in a row by the same family. Founded in 1870, from the very beginning Hoepli has devoted a particular attention to the technical, scientific and professional areas. Among the first to import the Anglo-German model of the "handbook", in which it still plays a crucial role, over the decades Hoepli books have gone along the personal and professional growth of the Italians.
A vocation confirmed and nurtured until these days. After consolidating the economics, finance and marketing areas, Hoepli is currently devoting to upmarket non-fiction in the fields of history, history of philosophy and history of literature.
Hoepli's mission is, as it has been, to have a key role in creating the future fostering education, knowledge, training and skills development.

How and how often has climate changed over the past five thousand years?
Ever since the Ice Age, climate changes have affected the development of cultures and civilisations.
This book tells the complex and changing story of Climatology, a science as old as human civilisation.
Starting from ancient Mesopotamia, where special climatic conditions led to the first flourishing civilisations, it goes all the way to the latest research on the climate of far away planets, while never averting eyes from the fact that today, climatology is at the centre of the political and economic debate on global warming: while climate triggered human development (e.g. it was thanks to warmer temperatures that agriculture was made possible), now it is man who determines climate
