Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the journey of a British officer tasked with surveying a possible route for a ship canal through what is now modern-day Jordan. By connecting the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Akabah, the canal would provide a faster and more easily navigable alternative to the Suez Canal. Written in 1884, the book provides first-hand insights into the realities of scientific exploration in the late 19th century. It considers whether the project was feasible given the political climate at the time and the difficulties of the terrain. It also examines how the interests of different parties - British, Ottoman, and local Bedouin - shaped the course of the expedition. Ultimately, the book offers a valuable historical account of a little-known episode in the development of global trade routes. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
