<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The Mediterranean, or 'Middle Sea', has long been regarded as the symbolic centre of European civilization. The binding water between Turkey, the Middle East, the trading communities of North Africa, and the European powerhouses Italy, France and Greece, a history of this sea is a new and vital way of understanding the history of the societies which have flourished in the region. The Islands of the Eastern Mediterranean charts the story of the water as both connector and border, and analyses the islands role in world history. Covering Mehmed II's efforts to conquer the old Roman Empire, through to the claims of Rhodes and the role of the Aegean Islands in Ottoman international relations, to the British in Cyprus and the present-day tensions, this book's interconnected essays from leading scholars form a tapestry of knowledge. Together, they represent a new frontier in the way in which we look at sea histories. This will become essential reading for scholars of History, International Relations, Trade and Migration.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Luca Zavagno is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the Eastern Mediterranean University of Northern Cyprus. Ozlem Caykent is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the Eastern Mediterranean University of Northern Cyprus.
