Publisher Comments:

Egypt is often referred to as the "Gift of the Nile" because of the river that nourishes the desert and sustains one of the most ancient, continuous civilizations in the world.<P>This volume succinctly recounts the entire history of Egypt — five millennia in all — from the Early Dynastic Period of the Pharaohs through the periods of Ottoman and British rule, and into the twenty-first century. Chapters on each era are enriched by discussions of art, literature, music, architecture, and culture, as well as by generous illustrations and photographs.
