Yes, The Corrupting Sea by Horden and Purcell is a totally wacky yet
weirdly wonderful history of Greece told entirely from the point of view
of ecology.

Hi Heather,

This one springs immediately to mind:

Meiggs, Russell.
Trees and timber in the ancient Mediterranean world
Oxford : Clarendon Press, 1982.
HD9765.M47 M44 1982

As I recall, he deals with deforestation (he would have to, wouldn't
he?).

Tom, any other ideas?

	Could anyone recommend any books or articles on the
environmental

	history of

	ancient Greece? I'm also interested in the issues of ecological

	degradation

	and deforestation in the Mediterranean more generally, as well.

	 

	Many thanks for your help,
