Horden and Purcell argue that the Mediterranean is (and always has been) a complex mosaic of useful microregional nichesBy CustomerA comprehensive, pan-regional study of the particular characteristics that contribute to our collective understanding of what is "the Mediterranean", this tome is Braudel for the twenty-first century, and will remain an essential starting point for any serious discussion about Mediterranean history for years to come. In essence, Drawing on a vast range of historical sources and some archaeological material, Horden and Purcell argue that the Mediterranean is (and always has been) a complex mosaic of useful microregional niches, each of which can be usefully exploited by local populations in order to offset the shortcomings of other, nearby niches. Perhaps the main weakness of the book is that there is no meaningful incorporation of palaeoecological data to add scientific heft to these arguments, as most people will agree that historical records can be problematic for a variety of reasons.This tome is one for which the adjective "magisterial" was coined; the authors seem to be very much aware of this, as some of the prose can seem pompous and unnecessarily abstruse, peppered liberally with quotations from other languages which Horden and Purcell have not bothered to translate for the mere peasants reading their book. Quibbles aside, this book is the very definition of 'essential reading'.38 of 43 people found the following review helpful. Mediterranean microecological connectivityBy Cesar Gonzalez RoucoMediterranean microecological connectivityI like reading history. I enjoy with it. I am not a professional historian. In the last few years I have tried and read books offering a broad scope and general overviews of history such as this one.In this work, the authors intend to study Mediterranean history as a whole, the history of the region. For them, the Mediterranean is only loosely defined, distinguishable from its neighbours to degrees that vary with time, geographical direction and topic. Its boundaries are not the sort to be drawn easily
