But first we must travel to distant regions where no history of Tambora's deadly grasp
has ever been traced. The science on Tambora has been global in its descriptions for decades,
while social history, confined to the Euro-American zone, has remained stubbornly parochial
until now. From epidemic disease in the Bay of Bengal, to the withered rice fields of Yunnan,
to a disintegrating Arctic ice pack, the fingerprints of Tambora's killer plume are to be found
worldwide through the late 1810s and beyond. Armed with twenty-first-century scientific in-
struments—and a global, teleconnected imagination—we are set to break this case wide open.
