David Abulafia (ed.) The Mediterranean in History.

Abstract

David Abulafia is a very familiar figure in the Medieval history of the Mediterranean, and this popular synthesis of the story of the region since Prehistory takes us up to 2000. Generally the chapters are well-written, especially those parts in his own fluent hand, and being a Thames and Hudson large format book, it is (as usual) spendidly illustrated, especially in colour.
