Egypt: Reflections on Continuity

"This book is a celebration of Egypt in photographs. It includes views of the Pharaonic antiquities and Islamic mosques, scenes of villages in remote oases, and fascinating images of the ever-changing desert. Throughout, these pictures articulate the light, the heat, and the presence of the ubiquitous desert. Pare offers a view of Egypt that is both spacious and sublisme. Egypt of time past is interwoven with that of time present in a series of remarkable images that allow us to perceive the continuity of civilization."--the publisher.
