	History of the Mediterranean region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The history of the Mediterranean region is the history of the interaction of the cultures and peoples of the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea —the central superhighway of transport, trade and cultural exchange between diverse peoples.
		Its history is important to understanding the origin and development of the Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Phoenician, Jewish, Greek, Latin, Arab, Persian and Turkish cultures —and hence is important to understanding the development of Western Civilization as we understand it today.
		For several centuries the Mediterranean was a "Roman Lake," surrounded on all sides by the empire.

		The Mediterranean is formed in the process of continental drift, when Africa crashes against Eurasia.
		A pattern of rival Phoenician and Greek colonies on the islands and shores of the Mediterranean is well established by the 5th century BC.
		The eruption of the Arabs into world history in the 7th century, with their dynamic new religion, changes the Mediterranean scene in a remarkably short time.

	Mediterranean Crossroads Conference
		Mediterranean Crossroads Conference (MCC): New trends in the study of the Mediterranean and its history at the onset of the 21st century
		When Fernard Braudel wrote his pioneering book on the history of the Mediterranean region, the study of large-scale entities (spatial and temporal) constituted a theme of central importance for all scientific disciplines, especially the humanities.
		The aim of ths conference is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of the Mediterranean region (past and present) and to encourage the sharing and examination of a wide spectrum of themes and problems.

	The Mediterranean in History (Getty Bookstore)
		Contained in this history of the "Great Sea" are the stories of the birth of Western Civilization, the clash of warring faiths, and the rivalries of empires.
		The book departs from the traditional view of Mediterranean history, which placed emphasis on the overwhelming influences of physical geography on the molding of the region's civilizations.
		David Abulafia is professor of Mediterranean studies at the University of Cambridge, England.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2004.07.51
		As Abulafia puts it, "in writing the history of the Mediterranean it is essential to write a human history of the Mediterranean Sea expressed through the commercial, cultural and religious interaction that took place across its surface" (26).
		By invoking Thucydides, Abulafia attractively suggests that the Mediterranean in history might be written as the history of thalassocracy -- since "sea power" has often provided the crucial link between the human and the physical in the Mediterranean (12).
		The central transformation, as Black shows, is that by the 18th century the Mediterranean "was no longer the centre of the world" (251); it came to be understood "in terms of geopolitical axes devised by strategists in distant capitals and its resources were used to support their strategies" (260).

	Historical Dictionary of Mediterranean Nautical Terms
		The Mediterranean Sea has been a major focus of development of western civilization since earliest times, surrounded as it is by cultures and linguistic groups linked in a network maintained by the relative ease of sea-borne communication.
		The table Galley Terms (22K) is intended to convey at a glance the uniformity among borrowed terms across the Mediterranean.
		I realized the pervasive influence of Italian loanwords throughout the Mediterranean and was convinced of the value of a study of the nautical vocabulary of all the major languages.

		Of all the great classical ruins of the Mediterranean, Butrint, located on the coast of southern Albania near the border of Greece, is the least known.
		Despite this obscurity, Butrint is one of the most authentic and complete repositories of Mediterranean history and is Albania's one and only World Heritage site.
		There are other classical sites with equally long histories in Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, and elsewhere; yet Butrint stands alone as the most complete archaeological site of Mediterranean history since its hinterland remains intact.

	GEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE CENTRAL MEDITERRANEAN BASIN: AN OUTLINE OF CENOZOIC EVENTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Geologic features in the present-day Mediterranean essentially result from two major processes: the tectonic displacement caused by the subduction of the African plate underneath the Eurasian plate; and the progressive closure of the Mediterranean sea involving a series of submarine-insular sills.
		The Central portion of the Mediterranean basin exemplifies the juxtaposition of compressional and extensional tectonic activity in the area.
		The history of the Alpine orogeny, constituting the northwestern portion of the Adriatic, really begins in the Mesozoic as well, for the sedimenary strata which constitutes most of its orogenic elements weas laid down in the continental margins of the ancient Tethys ocean.

	A Short History of The Mediterranean Garden Society (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This prompted a letter from Trevor Nottle, the Australian garden consultant and writer, who pointed out that the problems faced by Mediterranean gardeners tended to be shared by others in similar climate zones elsewhere in the world.
		This garden, created by Jaqueline Tyrwhitt nearly 30 years earlier and now the property of the Goulandris Natural History Museum, had been very much a pioneering effort; moreover she had kept a record of her experiences with a view to publishing them.
		After issuing two 8-page newsletters, it was felt that the time had come to publish a quarterly journal and in the summer of 1995 the first issue of The Mediterranean Garden appeared, despite the society's precarious finances.

	Earlham College - Geology 211 - Mediterranean
		To get started on a general background, here is a graphic history of Mediterranean tectonics, from the Miocene to the late Triassic.
		The Mediterranean is constantly refilled by the Atlantic; if it were not for this the evaporation rate of the region would eliminate the entire body of water(Ciesielski 2002).
		The history of the geologic phenomena itself stretches back across millions of years, comprising in its own way an epic journey to become what we and the epic masters, in our modern age, see as an astonishingly beautiful testament to the Earth's capacity to provide for its inhabitants.

		Braudel thus undertook to write a "total history" of the greater Mediterranean, taking in the region’s physical and human geography, its climate, its patterns of trade, its means of transport and communication, its societies and civilizations, its religions and customs.
		Fernand Braudel, The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World in the Age of Philip II (in two volumes) is the core text for the course.
		The success in the academic community of the Annales school and the triumph of structural history fostered communities of scholars who sought an alternate vision, one that was opposed to the big picture and instead concentrated on history at the micro-level, working with clues that history has left.

	Mediterranean Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Mediterranean Sea is almost completely enclosed by land: on the north by Europe, on the south by Africa, and on the east by Asia.
		Portugal, Armenia, Jordan, and the Vatican City State, although they do not border the sea, are usually considered Mediterranean countries in a wider sense due to their Mediterranean climate, fauna and flora, and their cultural affinity with other Mediterranean countries.
		The Red Sea is higher than the Eastern Mediterranean, so the canal serves as a tidal strait that pours Red Sea water into the Mediterranean.

		In the course of the conference and the ensuing discussions, the blurring of boundaries between history and anthropology seemed to give shape to a theoretical terrain shared by the two disciplines, and it is this shared theoretical terrain that I examine in the present article.
		Fundamental to my answers to this question is my claim that myth is not a prehistorical stage in the Mediterranean, but rather it is one of the most persistent frameworks for musicians in the Mediterranean to ascribe identity and place.
		The Mediterranean's musicians, whether following historical routes of migration across North Africa or charting courses for empire during the Renaissance and Early Modern Era, rely on myth to connect the past to the present.
