The Middle East as a Circumterral Region.
Fox, Richard W.; Cohen, Saul B.
Social Education, v58 n4 p219-25 Apr-May 1994
Presents the Middle East as a circumterral (rimmed by interpenetrating inland seas) rather than circumthallasic (lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea). Contends that, in a circumterral setting, domination by a single nation is made difficult by the weight of the land masses that project into the seas. (CFR)
