Interesting book, the author organizes his subject geographically (covering the North Sea first,then the Dardenelles etc.), which made it somewhat repetitive, since sea levels have changed at approximately the same rate all over the world for 15000 years. Learn your metric system before reading, he doesn't do the "translating", even though the above description has miles. I would have liked a bit more information/graphics showing how the oceans and rivers interact with the land, but perhaps I'll have to take one of his classes at UC Santa Barbara for that.
