Summary

"The Mediterranean is an urban sea. Some of the world's most famous cities are clustered in this remarkably compact area. They have extraordinary stories to tell. From the earliest stirrings of civilization in the region to the Arab Spring these coastal cities have been on the frontline of change. Little has passed them by. Their histories are often measured in millennia, yet they remain highly topical in the modern world. The Mediterranean is at one the world's most important cultural crossroads, a rich source of progress in many ways but also notoriously volatile. It is a part of the world where change itself is a by-word"--provided by publisher
