Sampsell, Bonnie M.
A TRAVELLER’S GUIDE TO THE GEOLOGY OF EGYPT.
Cairo / New York, The American University in Cairo Press , 2004. 2nd printing 228 pp. Pb. Egypt is primarily a land of deserts and mountains, the habitable Nile Valley and Delta occupying less than 5 percent of the country. Although the ancient Egyptians lived on only a small fraction of the land, they made extensive use of resources from the less hospitable areas, exploiting the opportunities and adjusting to the constraints of their physical environment. This book describes these features and more, providing a guide for the visitor to Egypt interested in learning about its history from a different perspective. Bonnie M. Sampsell is a retired college professor who has traveled to many parts of the world and studied Egyptology, archaeology, and geology extensively. near fine condition
