The topography and geology of the Fayum province of Egypt
Hugh John Llewellyn Beadnell
In an Egyptian depression below sea level lies a great salt lake, ancient whale fossils, and a rim of desert ridges. Hugh Beadnell maps the Fayum province in detail: its cultivated land, its shrinking lake, and the geology of the surrounding waste. A careful survey of one of the Nile valley's strangest corners. Explore a sunken land of sand and water.
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.
