Description: To the rest of the world, Egypt is a living museum of the ancient world. Pyramids lie amidst modern farming villages, and construction crews renovate and restore crumbling old city architecture. *Egypt the Culture* examines the ancient and modern cultural history of Egypt. With 50 percent new images, the revised *Egypt the Culture* examines contemporary issues such as sustainable development and how the country combats terrorism. It also looks at the environmental impact of Egypt's growing population and how pollution affects the pyramids.
