"The Mediterranean, or 'Middle Sea', has long been regarded as the symbolic centre of European civilization. The binding water between Turkey, the Middle East, the trading communities of North Africa, and the European powerhouses Italy, France and Greece, a history of this sea is a new and vital way of understanding the history of the societies which have flourished in the region. The Islands of the Eastern Mediterranean charts the story of the water as both connector and border, and analyses the islands role in world history. Covering Mehmed II's efforts to conquer the old Roman Empire, through to the claims of Rhodes and the role of the Aegean Islands in Ottoman international relations, to the British in Cyprus and the present-day tensions, this book's interconnected essays from leading scholars form a tapestry of knowledge. Together, they represent a new frontier in the way in which we look at sea histories. This will become essential reading for scholars of History, International Relations, Trade and Migration--Bloomsbury Publishing."

Mediterranean landscape ecology, island cultures and long-term human history have all emerged as major research agendas over the past half-century, engaging large swathes of the social and natural sciences. This book brings these traditions together in considering Antikythera, a tiny island perched on the edge of the Aegean and Ionian seas, over the full course of its human history. Small islands are particularly interesting because their human, plant and animal populations often experience abrupt demographic changes, including periods of near-complete abandonment and recolonization, and Antikythera proves to be one of the best-documented examples of these shifts over time. Small islands also play eccentric but revealing roles in wider social, economic and political networks, serving as places for refugees, hunters, modern eco-tourists, political exiles, hermits and pirates. Antikythera is a rare case of an island that has been investigated in its entirety from several systematic fieldwork and disciplinary perspectives, not least of which is an intensive archaeological survey. The authors use the resulting evidence to offer a unique vantage on settlement and land use histories.

Des jardins d’Adonis aux tiroirs des apothicaires et aux boutiques des commerçants, les herbes, drogues et épices ont toujours nourri les rêves et entretenu les comptes. Elles furent l’objet d’une curiosité particulière puis d’un engouement et d’un commerce aussi actif que lucratif ; la cause aussi de grandes rivalités entre marchands. Ainsi les retrouvons-nous dans les livres de commerçants juifs, dans les souks du Caire, dans les entrepôts de Smyrne, dans les cales des clippers américains ou dans les containers du port de Marseille. Mythes et réalités se côtoient dans cet ouvrage comme ils furent toujours liés dans le quotidien à travers les siècles et les continents. Par les aspects économiques mais aussi botaniques, sociaux et culturels de leur histoire, se précise le rôle important qu’ont tenu et que tiennent encore les Herbes, Drogues et Epices dans les sociétés méditerranéennes. L’Institut de Recherches Méditerranéennes d’Aix-en- Provence et la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie de Marseille ont entrepris depuis une décennie l’étude des grands produits de consommation tels le café, l’huile d’olive, le sucre, les céréales, qui, malgré leur usage quotidien, restent finalement peu ou mal connus du public.
