Hardback. Herbert Addison, Chapman & Hall. Condition remarks:Book: Good Jacket: Worn/faded, no tearsPages: Tanning and foxing Markings: Previous ownerA rigorous work of civil engineering history and water resource analysis, Sun and Shadow at Aswan: A Commentary on Dams and Reservoirs on the Nile at Aswan, Yesterday, Today, and Perhaps Tomorrow chronicles the long and consequential story of humanity's efforts to harness the Nile River through the construction of dams and reservoirs at Aswan, Egypt.
