Sinossi

This survey of the ancient levels of lakes, rivers and the sea, as well as changes in the compositions of stalagmites and sediments reveals an astonishing correlation of climate changes with the emergence and collapse of civilizations in the Middle East. The authors conclude that climate change has been the decisive factor in the history surrounding the origins of the "cradle of civilization".

Recensione

From the reviews of the second edition:

"This second edition of Climate Change: Environment and History of the Near East deserves recognition by scientists working on a number of water problems in the area. The authors ... are convinced that conservative negative attitudes are slowly changing, mostly due to the ever increasing quantity and quality of scientific research of the Earth’s past mainly by geologists, geochemists, botanists, climatologists, etc. ... The book is intended for environmental hydrogeologists, climatologists, scientists, and geochemists." (Phillip E. LaMoreaux, Environmental Geology, Vol. 54 (4), 2008)
