      abstract = {Venice came to life on mudflats at the edge of the  habitable world. Protected in a tidal estuary from invaders  and Byzantine overlords, the fishermen and traders who  settled there crafted a way of life unlike anything the  Roman Empire had ever known. In an astonishing feat of  narrative history, James H. S. McGregor recreates this  world, with its waterways rather than roads and its  livelihood harvested from the sea. The narrative follows  both a chronological and geographical organization, so that  readers can trace the city's evolution by chapter and  visitors can explore it by district on foot and by boat.},
