At the heart of the book is a series of case studies that integrate climate and hydrological modelling with palaeoenvironmental and archaeological evidence to generate new insights into the Neolithic Bronze Age and Classical periods in the Jordan Valley… The volume describes how state-of-the-art models can simulate the past present and future climates of the Near East reviews and provides new evidence for environmental change from geological deposits builds hydrological models for the River Jordan and associated wadis and explains how present day urban and rural communities manage their water supply. It is an invaluable reference for researchers and advanced students concerned with the impacts of climate change and hydrology on human society especially in the Near East."
