Book excerpt: Many of the world’s major cities sprang up on the banks of rivers. Used for water, food, irrigation, transportation, and power, rivers sustain life and connect the world together, but most of us think of them simply as waterways that must be crossed on the way to another place. Using four European and two North American rivers as examples, A Story of Six Rivers considers the place of rivers in our world and emphasizes the inextricable links between history, culture, and ecology. Peter Coates explores six rivers, chosen as examples of the types of rivers found on the planet: the Danube, the second-longest river in Europe; the Spree, which flows through Berlin; the Po, which cuts eastward across northern Italy; the Mersey in northwest England; the Yukon, which runs through Canada and Alaska; and the Los Angeles in California. Creating a series of river biographies, Coates gives voice to each of these bodies of water, exploring how rivers nurture us, provide cultural and economic opportunities, and pose threats to our everyday lives. He challenges recent narratives that paint rivers as the victims of abuse, pollution, and damage at the hands of humans, focusing on change rather than devastation. Describing how humans and rivers form a symbiotic—and sometimes mutually destructive—relationship, Coates argues that rivers illustrate the limits of human authority and that their capacity to inspire us is as strong as our ability to pollute them. An intimate portrait of the way these bodies of water inform our lives, A Story of Six Rivers will make us reconsider the streams and tributaries we traverse each day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lombardy, with about 10 million inhabitants, is today the most populated and prosperous region of Italy, and Milan is a renowned capital of art, fashion and design. During the 19th century until WWI, the region gradually became the leader in Italy’s economic development and distinguished itself in the European economic landscape for its long-standing industrial strength and diversified economy, which included one of the Europe’s most productive agricultural systems. It was the economic locomotive of contemporary Italy, contributing to the economic Risorgimento that complemented the country’s political resurgence. The present volume gathers the contributions of some major experts on the subject, providing an in-depth analysis of Lombardy’s pattern of development, consisting of an exceptionally symbiotic and balanced interplay of sectors (agriculture, industry, trade, and banking) in a gradual yet steady growth process, also supported by progress in the education system. During the century, there was a shift away from an economy based on agriculture and commerce to a progressively more industrial economy and this process accelerated from the 1880s. The secret of this dynamic balance was Lombardy’s active relationship with the rest of Europe and with the international markets. Aimed at scholars, researchers and students in the fields of early modern and modern history, economic and social history, the book provides a clear explanation of Lombardy’s economic development during the long 19th Century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the reign of Muhammad Ali Pasha (1805-48) and the end of the Second World War, a dramatic transformation of the Egyptian sociopolitical scene took place, particularly within the confines of the ruling class. During that period, and owing in large measure to Muhammad Ali's reforms, a new class system emerged, with its revised gradations from lower to upper strata. The central concern of this book is the change that took place in upper-class Egyptian society, from a staunch conservatism toward more westernized, liberal norms in the hundred years spanning the turn of the nineteenth century. The district of Zamalek, on the Nile island of Gezira, became, for a variety of reasons, the preferred neighborhood for a fast growing, rapidly evolving upper middle class, and by the mid-1920s it had become the abode of an elite group whose way of life was manifestly more westernized than that of its predecessors. Zamalek was the focal point of social change, and its elite role models actively engaged in the creation of these new social norms. By following the lives of one family, this book describes how these people lived, interreacted, and changed, often under the impetus of international events, and looks at some of the beliefs and traditions upon which their life was based. As Egypt enters the twenty-first century with a noticeable reappearance of the veil and an apparent return to the values of the past, this account by someone who grew up within that group is a timely examination of the social westernization of twentieth-century Egypt, the forces that led to it, and the events that made it possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Irrigation in Northern Italy, Vol. 2 Four of the canals described in this report take water from the Adda River; the fifth is supplied from the Adige. The Adda rises on the southern slopes of the Alps, flows through Lake Como, which serves as a natural regulator, and after traversing the foothills south of the lake for several miles, reaches the north boundary of the Po Valley, which it crosses in a southeasterly direction, and empties into the Po near Cremona. The location of the canals studied and the territory irrigated from the Adda are shown on the map. (pl. I.) The first of the canals to be studied was the Martesana. It was inspected in company with Mr. Grossi, the assistant engineer. Its headgate is the highest of all irrigation systems from the Adda, the only. Diversions above that point being for power purposes. The appearance of the valley at the head of the 'martesana is shown in Plate II, figure 1. It is a most picturesque region, but one ill - suited to canal building, as the bluffs bordering the river are high, rocky, and steep. The river at this point has a rapid fall. Its surface is capped with foam as it plunges down over the immense bowlders which obstruct the channel.. Naturally picturesque, the beauty of the scenery of this region has been greatly enhanced by its historic inter est. Many of the bluffs are crowned with the ruins of medieval castles-or with beautifully kept terraced gardens surrounding palaces and villas, which furnish illustrations of the best work in modern architecture and landscape gardening. At the foot of one of the piers of the bridge shown in Plate II, figureq, sthe official gauge rod established by the Government as a basis for determining how the water shall be divided among the canals below, there being no diversions above this point except one for power. On August 19 the river carried cubic feet per sec ond, making it rank at this time of the year with the Snake and Yellowstone among rivers used in irrigation in this country. Its flood fl'ow 1s not so large as these streams, the high water record being 29 190 cubic feet per second, but the low water flow, cubic feet per second, compares favorably with our larger western streams.
