THE FIRST BOOK OF THE MEDITERRANEAN

No study of western history could avoid dwelling in detail and appreciation on the Mediterranean. Here in a text illustrated by Lili Rethi is a history of that region, the cradle of classical, Egyptian, Judaic and Christian thought, as well as material and geographical expansion. Here are the ships that sailed those waters from earliest times to the present. A geography book which is potent both in its historical and emotional impact. Emphatically recommended to school libraries.
