Local weather phenomena are described, and localized forecasting rules are given, for each of seven geographical areas of the Mediterranean Basin. As drawn for this study, the areas boundaries generally define the areas of occurrence of the various weather conditions and events that are found from one location to another across the region. For the operational forecaster's ease of reference, each text section addresses a particular geographical area and provides the following information for that area: an overview of local geography and seasonal, weather patterns; discussions of weather phenomena common to the area; and a series of forecasting rules cross-referenced to the phenomena discussed. Area locator maps, charts of typical weather conditions and events, satellite images, and rules-index tables are provided to enhance the operational usefulness of the information for the on-site user.

In this book, Thomas F. Tartaron presents a new and original reassessment of the maritime world of the Mycenaean Greeks of the Late Bronze Age. By all accounts a seafaring people, they enjoyed maritime connections with peoples as distant as Egypt and Sicily. These long-distance relations have been celebrated and much studied; by contrast, the vibrant worlds of local maritime interaction and exploitation of the sea have been virtually ignored. Dr Tartaron argues that local maritime networks, in the form of 'coastscapes' and 'small worlds', are far more representative of the true fabric of Mycenaean life. He offers a complete template of conceptual and methodological tools for recovering small worlds and the communities that inhabited them. Combining archaeological, geoarchaeological and anthropological approaches with ancient texts and network theory, he demonstrates the application of this scheme in several case studies. This book presents new perspectives and challenges for all archaeologists with interests in maritime connectivity.
