So blue so blue : edges of the Mediterranean

"So blue, so blue - edges of the Mediterranean is van Denderen's attempt to make sense of the immense economic, political, socio-religious and ecological changes taking place around the open space that Europe, Asia and Africa have contested and shared for centuries: the Mediterranean Sea. It was and is the point of encounter for north and south, east and west, Christianity and Islam, rich and poor."--P. 4 of cover.; Texts by Frits Gierstberg.
