Cloth, 8vo, 25 cm, x, 310 p, [16] pages of plates, ills, maps, plans. From the blurb: "The shores of the Mediterranean have seen the rise and fall of several great civilizations, but most of its early inhabitants left no written records of their way of life, their cultural relationships and their achievements. This does not mean that they were unimportant since it was they who took the preliminary steps which make civilization possible. In the absence of documents, it remains for archaeology to recover their intricate and fascinating story and so provide a meaningful background to the triumphs of Egypt and of Phoenicia, of Crete and Greece, of Etruria and Rome. Such is the aim of this book. That the Mediterranean Sea nurtured such variety need cause no surprise. Before 7000 BC, perhaps long before, men were navigating its waters and benefiting from the stimulus of overseas trade and cultural contact. As certain regions forged ahead in cultural development, so their need for raw materials and markets spread their influence ever more widely. Yet at the same time, the sea provided a barrier behind which local societies could develop in their own way, without interruption. Even direct colonies soon began to pursue divergent courses, first political, then cultural. Not until the Mediterranean became a Roman lake did these barriers disappear. The interplay of these two factors, wide diffusion and narrow specialization, gives a particular interest to the history of man in the area." Very Good in Very Good dustwrapper.
