Know about the book -

Mediterranean Valley is written by Graeme Barker and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0567312852 (ISBN 10) and 9780567312853 (ISBN 13).

Integrating the techniques of archaeology, history and geography, this book traces the history of human settlement in the Biferno Valley from early prehistory to the present century. It also covers the parallel story of landscape development, showing that the two have to be understood together. It argues for the importance of human settlement, rather than climate (as is often argued) in shaping the Mediterranean landscape. This book provides an interdisciplinary study of a restricted region, but about an important theme: the relationship between people and landscape in the past, and what we can learn from it for the future.
