Reviews

The editors have done a superb job of bringing together an updated, multidisciplinary survey of the Mediterranean Sea as we know it today. ... This book belongs in university libraries and on the desks and bookshelves of all researchers interested in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a credit to the science and study of the Mediterranean Sea, and as such it makes an important contribution to the literature. (Charles W. Finkl, Journal of Coastal Research, Vol. 31 (3), May, 2015)
