商品簡介
In this volume of a series that views the natural world as an actor in world history, Hughes (history, U. of Denver, Colorado) defines "environmental history" as both a subject and a method, and the Mediterranean as a sea- rather than continent-centered geographical area. From a sustainability-oriented perspective and in three case studies (e.g. on the Aswan Dam's impact), he traces environmental impacts on the region by its earliest residents to contemporary trends. The volume includes line maps; b&w photos (of fair quality); a glossary of key people, events, and concepts; a timeline from prehistory to projections for 2025; and an annotated bibliography.
