The Nile in 1904
William, Sir Willcocks and Hugh John Llewellyn Beadnell
The Nile made Egypt, and Sir William Willcocks measured every reach of it in 1904. He traces the river's course, its slopes and velocities, its catchment basins, and the engineering that harnessed its flood. Detailed, authoritative, and grounded in a lifetime of irrigation work. A definitive study of the world's most storied river. Follow the Nile from source to sea with its master engineer.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
