Garden archaeology reveals the economic importance of Judean gardens in Roman times and the visual complexity of gardens created and transformed in Moorish Spain. More contemporary approaches unravel the cultural continuities, variations, and differences between gardens in the Middle East since Roman times and in the Islamic world.<br /> Paperback February 2008<br /> http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/CONMID.html#CONMID Fri, 29 Feb 2008 00:00:00 EST
