Gr 5-8Egyptthe land of pyramids, camels, and the Sphinxis also the Hollywood of the Arab world, where many motion pictures are filmed. And though it often gets only six inches of rain a year, it has a national park that is completely under watera marine coral reef. Though the author provides some out-of-the-ordinary tidbits, for the most part the text of this book is dry. Still, most of the subjects students need for reports are here: climate, landscape, trade and industry, and daily life. Brightly colored photos include some unusual scenes; an Egyptian coffeehouse and towers of watermelons for sale in the marketplace add some breadth beyond the stereotypical tourist shots. Sidebars highlight key facts, and a list of embassy and tourist sources rounds out the presentation. This book is light on ancient Egyptian history and information on the Arab-Israeli conflictfor those subjects, readers will need other sources.Cathryn A.

A broad rather than in-depth examination reveals Egypt to be a significant political and geographical power in the Middle East as well as a country whose potential economic power far surpasses the limitations of its physical size and limited arability. Information on geography, climate, natural resources, cultures, industry, and laws is supplemented by a collection of photos, maps, diagrams, and graphs. A useful tool for research reports.
