Based on both the local records of various towns and villages in rural Egypt and the imperial orders of the Ottoman state, this book charts how changes in the control of natural resources fundamentally altered the nature of Ottoman imperial sovereignty in Egypt and throughout the empire. In revealing how Egyptian peasants were able to use their knowledge and experience of local environments to force the hand of the imperial state, Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt tells a story of the connections of empire stretching from canals in the Egyptian countryside to the palace in Istanbul, from the forests of Anatolia to the shores of the Red Sea, and from a plague flea's bite to the fortunes of one of the most powerful states of the early modern world. 410 0$aStudies in environment and history. 517 3 $aNature & Empire in Ottoman Egypt 606 $aHuman ecology$zEgypt 606 $aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on$zEgypt 606 $aIrrigation$xSocial aspects$zEgypt 606 $aTechnology and civilization 607 $aEgypt$xHistory$y1517-1882 615 0$aHuman ecology 615 0$aHuman beings$xEffect of environment on 615 0$aIrrigation$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTechnology and civilization. 676 $a304.20962 686 $aHIS026000$2bisacsh 700 $aMikhail$b Alan$f1979-$0479792 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996247987103316 996 $aNature and empire in Ottoman Egypt$91886153 997 $aUNISA LEADER 02151oam 2200469Ia 450 001 9910698131503321 005 20090323141642.0 035 $a(CKB)5470000002395668 035 $a(OCoLC)316802988 035 $a(EXLCZ)995470000002395668 100 $a20090323d2008 ua 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aCultural landscape report for the Battery Weed Headland, Fort Wadsworth Gateway National Recreation Area, Staten Island, New York$b[electronic resource] /$fby Jean B.

Producing a number of well-received novels, her main success came with the controversial satire Red Pottage (1899), a favourite amongst British troops in the Boer War and even enjoyed by Queen Victoria. Something of an enigma, she was often portrayed as an unambitious spinster to whom celebrity had come as a surprise. On the contrary, however, by the time of her sudden fame, she was already an established writer, having published a number of titles since 1887. But success did not come easily to Cholmondeley. The victim of chronic asthma throughout her life, she became dependent on the morphia she took to alleviate the pain, and was forced to correct the proofs for Red Pottage during a serious illness, during intervals of lucidity.
Her private life was unconventional, consisting of an early love affair, broken off due to a misunderstanding of a kind that would sit better in a work of fiction, and from which she never fully recovered. She never left home during her father's lifetime, but after the deaths of her mother and youngest sister, remained with her father and surviving sisters first in Shropshire and later in London. Giving a comprehensive critique of Cholmondeley's writings, Oulton analyzes the inspiration and influences behind some of her greatest work and provides an appealing biography of a writer whose work is of increasing interest to modern scholars. 410 0$aGender and genre ;$vno. 1. 606 $aWomen novelists, English$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aNovelists, English$y20th century$vBiography 615 0$aWomen novelists, English 615 0$aNovelists, English 676 $a823.912 700 $aOulton$b Carolyn$f1972-$0929943 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780960703321 996 $aLet the flowers go$93728486 997 $aUNINA
