The editors have gathered leading authorities from the fields of Marine Biology, Ecology, paleoclimatology, Chemical and Physical Oceanography, Zoology, Botany, Aquatic Photosynthesis, Socioeconomics, Mariculture, Mediterranean History and Science of Humanity. Beginning with the birth of the Mediterranean Sea and its myths. From coral to fish, an introduction is given to its major inhabitants of plants and animals past and present. The chapters illustrate how organisms interact as part of the structure and function of the Sea's main ecosystems. The rise of the Mediterranean as the cradle of the Western Civilization leads to a discourse on the status of human interaction with the sea. Accelerating global climate change, water warming, ocean acidification and sea level rise, and analyses of their effects on key organisms, entire ecosystems and human socioeconomics are given. Forecasting and predictions are presented taking into account different future scenarios from the IPCC (International Panel on Climate Change). The volume is richly illustrated in color, with an extensive bibliography. A valuable addition to the limited literature in the field, offering up-to-date broad coverage merging science and humanities. 000695436 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed September 16, 2013). 000695436 650_0 $$aEcology$$zMediterranean Sea. 000695436 651_0 $$aMediterranean Sea. 000695436 651_0 $$aMediterranean Sea$$xHistory. 000695436 7001_ $$aGoffredo, Stefano,$$eeditor of compilation. 000695436 7001_ $$aDubinsky, Z.$$q(Zvy),$$eeditor of compilation. 000695436 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000695436 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-94-007-6704-1$$zOnline Access 000695436 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:695436$$pGLOBAL_SET 000695436 980__ $$aEBOOK 000695436 980__ $$aBIB 000695436 982__ $$aEbook 000695436 983__ $$aOnline 000695436 994__ $$a92$$bISE
