The first of the four required sections that I read was titled, “Making the Dirt Fly”. This particular section outlined a few of the many obstacles that engineers and laborers faced throughout their endeavor to make way for the Panama Canal. Torrents of rain, mudslides, and the terrain’s apparent resistance of such alterations engulfed equipment and thwarted months worth of progress. Despite these naturally occurring interferences, American equipment was fundamental to this astonishing…

During the First World War, the Ottoman Empire attacked the unprepared British troops in Egypt but fell back before reaching the canal. Alarmed by the Ottoman Empire’s attack in 1915, Britain further increased its presence in Egypt under the command of General Edmund Allenby.

On the one hand, Naguib Mahfouz chose Alexandria as a setting for Miramar. He wrote about it after the Nasser's revolution when only few traces of the cosmopolitan still there. However, it seems from the comparison he made between Cairo and Alexandria that Alexandria is drastically affected by the departure of the Alexandrians with foreign origins and foreigners. Alexandria in the novel is not only a setting or environment, but also a state of mind, symbol or a philosophy. Each character has…

The excitement of the residents of the Love Canal has not lasted too long. More terrible news ensued. People living far away from the pollution center were beginning to worry about their own safety.
