Recenzii
The reader is introduced to the interdisciplinary nature of the work and has to get to know current geological ideas and terms ... Explanations are, however, given ... it emphasizes the breadth of research which is necessary for such a study ... The bibliography is full and wide-ranging ... The illustrations are informative.
a broadly informed perspective upon the role of water in the development and integration of ancient Greek cities...The strengths of the book are in the areas of community and domestic water use. I am aware of no single volume that does a better job of breathing life and meaning into the management of water resources in antiquity...a throughly interesting book.
Crouch's study raises stimulating questions for further research, indicates entirely new directions for established academic disciplines,and suggests useful procedures for modern cities facing problems of water supply and management.
there are some very good things. The author brings out the importance of Karst geology for the choice of site and water supply (chs 7 ff.) ; stresses the multiple sources of supply and the diverse use of different grades of water, potable, subpotable, and waste; gives illuminating accounts of sites with reference to their springs, waterlines, and cisterns... and useful descriptions and illustrations of 'fittings' ... and generally points future excavators to neglected aspects of archaeology.
