In this immensely readable and thoroughly researched book, Tarek Osman explores what has happened to the biggest Arab nation since President Nasser took control of the country in 1954. He examines Egypt's central role in the development of the two crucial movements of the period, Arab nationalism and radical Islam; the increasingly contentious relationship between Muslims and Christians; and perhaps most important of all, the rift between the cosmopolitan elite and the mass of the undereducated and underemployed population, more than half of whom are aged under thirty. This is an essential guide to one of the Middle East's most important but least understood states. 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt)$2bisacsh 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1981-2011 607 $aEgypt$xPolitics and government$y1981- 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1952-1970 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1970-1981 607 $aEgypt$xSocial conditions$y1981- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Egypt (see also Ancient / Egypt). 676 $a962.05 700 $aOsman$b Tarek$0475932 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452571503321 996 $aEgypt on the brink$9242465 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04784oam 2200649 a 450 001 9910830301303321 005 20210112003000.0 010 $a9786613904713 010 $a1-283-59226-6 010 $a1-118-34951-2 010 $a1-118-34954-7 010 $a1-118-34953-9 035 $a(CKB)2670000000238806 035 $a(EBL)1012764 035 $a(DLC) 2012018136 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1012764 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1012764 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11098383 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL390471 035 $a(OCoLC)793099637 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000238806 100 $a20120502d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aWetland environments$b[electronic resource] $ea global perspective /$fJames Sandusky Aber, Firooza Pavri, Susan Ward Aber 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aChichester, West Sussex ;$aHoboken, NJ $cWiley Blackwell$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (482 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a1-4051-9841-9 311 $a1-4051-9842-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aWetland environments: A global perspective; Contents; Preface; Acknowledgements; Part I; 1: Wetland overview; 1.1 Introduction; 1.2 How much and where; 1.3 Wetland trends; 1.4 Wetland preservation and protection; 1.5 Wetland science; 1.6 Book approach and outline; 1.7 Summary; 2: Wetland criteria; 2.1 Definitions; 2.2 Water; 2.3 Soil; 2.4 Vegetation; 2.5 Wetland classification; 2.6 Peatland; 2.7 Anthropogenic dimensions of wetlands; 2.8 Summary; 3: Methods in wetland research; 3.1 Introduction; 3.2 Remote sensing; 3.2.1 Image resolution and interpretability; 3.2.2 Wetland image interpretation 327 $a5.3 Hydric soil criteria5.4 Mineral and organic hydric soils; 5.5 Submerged wetland substrates; 5.6 Summary; 6: Wetland vegetation; 6.1 Plant adaptations; 6.1.1 Structural adaptations; 6.1.2 Biochemical adaptations; 6.2 Ecological categories; 6.2.1 Shoreline plants; 6.2.2 Emergent plants; 6.2.3 Floating plants; 6.2.4 Submerged plants; 6.2.5 Plant zonation; 6.3 Indicator categories; 6.4 Plant hardiness zones; 6.5 Invasive plant species; 6.6 Summary; 7: Wetland wildlife; 7.1 Introduction; 7.2 Wetland invertebrates; 7.2.1 Insects; 7.2.2 Mosquitos; 7.2.3 Corals; 7.3 Wetland vertebrates 327 $a7.3.1 Amphibians7.3.2 Reptiles; 7.3.3 Birds; 7.3.4 Mammals; 7.4 Invasive animal species; 7.5 Summary; Part III; 8: Wetland change; 8.1 Introduction; 8.2 Hydroseral succession; 8.3 Sea-level change and crustal movements; 8.3.1 Glacial eustasy; 8.3.2 Glacial isostasy; 8.3.3 Complicated responses; 8.3.4 Modern sea-level rise; 8.4 Climate change; 8.4.1 Climate basics; 8.4.2 Climate and wetlands; 8.5 Fire; 8.6 Summary; 9: Wetlands through time; 9.1 Introduction; 9.2 Coal; 9.2.1 Paleozoic coal; 9.2.2 Cretaceous-Tertiary coal and lignite; 9.3 Amber; 9.4 Pleistocene and Holocene wetlands 327 $a9.4.1 Nordic region9.4.2 North America; 9.4.3 Tropics and Antarctica; 9.4.4 Holocene climate and early man; 9.5 Summary; 10: Environmental cycles and feedback; 10.1 Biogeochemical cycles; 10.1.1 Wetland elements; 10.1.2 Nitrogen; 10.1.3 Phosphorus, potassium and sulfur; 10.2 Carbon cycle; 10.2.1 Carbon reservoirs; 10.2.2 Carbon balance; 10.2.3 Carbon gases and climatic feedback; 10.3 Fossil fuels; 10.3.1 Fossil-fuel consumption; 10.3.2 Coal mining and acid rain; 10.3.3 Estonian oil shale; 10.4 Human experiment; 10.5 Summary; Part IV; 11: Wetland services, resources and valuation 327 $a11.1 Human use of wetland ecosystems 330 $aWetlands - swamp, marsh, bayou, tundra and bog - are places that are rarely visited and often misunderstood but they have, in fact, conspicuous roles in the physical, biological and cultural geography of the world.?
