  The encircled sea is a book to accompany a major new ten-part television series to be networked on Channel 4 this autumn. The book and the series offer new perspective on the study of the Mediterranean and her peoples. In her book Dr Arenson has selected ten themes, taking present day Mediterranean society as her starting point. She uses the latest research in maritime studies - history, marine science, archaeology, social anthropology, marine engineering and geophysics to explore the unique contribution that the Mediterranean has made to modern civilization.
