Sinopsis de Environmental issues in the mediterranean: processes and perspectives from the past and present

This volume reviews both physical and social aspects of this region, in relation to its environment. The Mediterranean has been subject to changing human settlement and land use patterns for millennia, and has a history of human exploitation in an inherently unstable landscape. It has been at the centre of vast empires since before Roman times, and is still frequently affected by volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. It is characterized and set apart from other areas by the presence of the Mediterranean Sea and its current environmental problems can have social and economic impacts for, or common to, the whole region. An introduction to the Mediterranean region, its history, physical and human geography and its environmental problems is given.
