A Master-Builder on the Nile is a biographical account of the life and work of John Hogg, a renowned engineer and architect who played a significant role in the development of Egypt during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book, written by Rena L. Hogg, his daughter, provides a detailed insight into Hogg's personal and professional life, including his early years in Scotland, his education, and his various engineering projects in Egypt, such as the construction of the Aswan Dam and the development of the Cairo waterworks. The book also sheds light on Hogg's philanthropic endeavors, including his work with the Scottish Women's Hospital during World War I. Overall, A Master-Builder on the Nile is a fascinating account of one man's contribution to the development of a nation, and a testament to the power of engineering and architecture in shaping the world we live in.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
