Re: Environmental History / Ancient Greece

[Richard Pickard <rpickard@uvic.ca>]

There's also some discussion of ancient environmental change in the  
larger region in Thomas Homer-Dixon's The Up Side of Down:  
Catastrophe, Creativity, and the Renewal of Civilization. An  
interesting book - it needs some careful parsing, but it's worth  
reading.
