This study explains the Greco-Roman urban form as it relates to the geological basis at selected sites in the Mediterranean basin. Each of the sites--Argos; Delphi; Ephesus; and Syracuse among them--has manifested in its physical form the geology on which it stood and from which it was made."By demonstrating the dependence of a group of cities on its geological base;" the author writes; "the study forces us to examine more closely the ecology of human settlement; not as a set of theories but as a set of practical constraints..." Exacting attention will be given to local geology (types of building stones; natural springs; effect of earthquakes; silting; etc.) The findings are based on site publications; visits to the sites; and the most recent archaeological plans. The book is illustrated with original photographs and geological maps indicating the known Greco-Roman features--the first such maps published for any of the sites. Sequel to Water Management in Ancient Greek Cities; now available by Publication on Demand

Book is better in non-Kindle formBy Stella FitzgibbonsVery good assortment of music that isnt too difficult. BUT you will still want to mark repeats. fingering and the occasional chord symbol. Lots of luck getting that on Kindle--better to use [...]. which has its own iPad app and will let you mark on the music.
