N2  - This reference book shows the grand panoply of ancient and modern that is Egypt: village men in flowing cotton galabias next to buses, cars and weddings in the middle of Cairo. It also gives some information about the new library of Alexandria. This book touches on many important details: the fact that many Egyptians identify themselves as Egyptian rather than Arab, the actual role of the imam in the mosque, the difficulties of translating Arabic into English and even quite accurate recipes for such Egyptian favorites as koushari, rice pudding and foul midammis. The back pages are packed with useful and colorful information̮cultural, economic and geographical maps, a timeline, fast facts, resources, glossary and index
