Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the extraordinary life of Sir Colin Scott-Moncrieff, a Scottish engineer whose pioneering work in India and Egypt left an enduring legacy on both nations. Born into a prominent Scottish family, Scott-Moncrieff's childhood was shaped by a deep sense of Christian faith and a commitment to public service. His education at the Edinburgh Academy and Addiscombe Military Seminary laid the foundation for his future career in engineering. The book follows Scott-Moncrieff's journey to India, where he served with distinction in the Bengal Engineers. He played a pivotal role in the construction of the East Jumna Canal, a massive irrigation project that transformed agriculture in northern India. Scott-Moncrieff's expertise in water management led to his appointment as Director of Irrigation in Egypt, where he oversaw the construction of the Nile Barrage and the Aswan Dam. His work revolutionized irrigation in Egypt, expanding agricultural productivity and improving the lives of millions. Beyond his engineering achievements, Scott-Moncrieff was a keen observer of Indian and Egyptian society. He wrote extensively about his experiences, providing valuable insights into the social and political landscapes of the time. His writings reveal a deep empathy for the people he encountered and a profound understanding of the challenges facing both nations. This book offers a comprehensive and engaging account of Scott-Moncrieff's life and work. It sheds light on the history of engineering, irrigation, and colonialism, while also exploring the personal qualities that made Scott-Moncrieff an exceptional leader and a true pioneer. Through its detailed narrative and insightful analysis, this book pays tribute to a remarkable individual whose contributions continue to shape the world we live in today.
