"Egypt (Modern World Nations)" by Joseph J. Hobbs, Charles F. Gritzner
Requirements: PDF Reader | 5.5MB
Overview: That is the Egypt in the news during recent years. But open up a National Geographic magazine, a coffee-table book about the wonders of the world, or a book on Western civilization, and a different Egypt can be seen. It is a land of temples and tombs, of pharaohs and pyramids, of camels and sand. It is a photogenic and mysteri-ous land, so unlike the United States, yet somehow linked to the American way of life—it is the birthplace of paper and written language, of monumental architecture, and of irrigation. There is an Egypt many in the United States have probably not seen, the homeland to more than 80 million generous, gregarious, and proud people who today call themselves Egyp-tians. They are Muslim and Christian, city dwellers and village peasants, globally involved businesspeople and remote desert nomads. Some are wealthy, but most are not. Nearly all of them, though, have one custom in common: If they were to see a stranger passing by their home, they would cry out, “Ahlan wa sahlan”—“welcome!” and beckon that person to come meet them and enjoy their hospitality.
