Re: Environmental History / Ancient Greece

["Chris Drinkwater" <chris@drnwr.free-online.co.uk>]

1: Graham Shipley and John B. Salmon (eds.). Human Landscapes in Classical 
Antiquity: Environment and Culture. Routledge, 1996.
This includes a marvellous essay by Oliver Rackham, that is both belligerent 
and well informed.

2. Rackham has also written Trees, Woods. and Timber in Greek History (Myres 
Memorial Lectures). Leopard's Head Press, Oxford, 2001.

3. Laura Westra and Thomas M. Robinson (eds.). The Greeks and the 
Environment. Rowman and Littlefield, 1997.

4. A.T. Grove and Oliver Rackham (again!). The Nature of Mediterranean 
Europe: An Ecological History. Yale University Press, 2003.

Hope this helps.

Chris Drinkwater.
