Absolutely essential for historians, yet written explicitly for the general reader, here is a magnificent account of the Mediterreanean, from its geologic beginnings through the ancient civilizations that flourished along its shores. An elemental narrative, Memory and the Mediterranean conveys in exquisite detail the geography, topography, and climate of the region over the course of millennia while brilliantly explaining the larger forces that gave rise to agriculture, writing, commerce, and, ultimately, the emergence of empires. Impressive in scope, it treats the foundational period from prehistory to antiquity with the same authority and elegance as Jacques Barzun's bestselling From Dawn to Decadence.
