Great Britain: Longmans, 1970. Hardback. First Edition. Nubia. A Drowning Land. Previous owners initials and date to inside cover. Waterstain mark to top edge of spine of D/J. From the library of Roma Woodroffe, Egyptologist. Paintings by Alan Sorrell. This is the story of a land under sentence of death. By the autumn of 1969, when the High Dam is finished, Nubia will no longer exist. Already it has almost idsappeared under an ever-widening lake, as the waters of the Nile pile up behind the great barrier which will, it is hoped, bring sustenance to millions in Egypt. For those who have known and loved the country, it is difficult to speak of it in the past tense, for the memory of its harsh beauty, the sunlight, the silence and the empty, rocky spaces will always be vividly present. We have tried in this book to paint a portrait of Nubia in words and pictures, and to outline, very briefly, its history. In doing so, we have also told another story, that of a great international campaign, undertaken when the fateful decision to build the dam had been made, and it became inevitable that what the Nile had fiven, the Nile would destory. Illustrated. 86 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.). First Edition. Cloth. Very Good/Good. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall Octavo. Hardback., Longmans, 1970, 2.75<
