Jamie Woodward is Professor of Physical Geography at The University of Manchester. He has worked on the geomorphology and Quaternary history of the Mediterranean region for over two decades. He is especially interested in fluvial, glacial and karst sediment systems. A good deal of this research takes place in collaboration with archaeologists and Jamie is interested in human-environment interactions across a range of timescales. He is the Co-Editor of Geoarchaeology: An International Journal and he is the Quaternary Science and Geomorphology Editor for the Journal of the Geological Society of London....the two words which immediately suggest themselves when reading this volume are authoritative and comprehensiveThe impressive aspect of this volume is that the authors that the editor has chosen to write the constituent chapters are exactly the people youd want to hear from on those subjects...

The uniqueness of this new book is that it attempts, and largely succeeds, in producing, within a single volume, a review of the entire Mediterranean landscape; the factors responsible for its creation, the role of past environmental change, the processes that have shaped it, the response of those processes to environmental change, the physical hazards of the region and the response of the region to human impacts and future climate change...
