"The Geography and Geology of South-Eastern Egypt" by John Ball is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work provides a detailed and systematic account of the geography and geology of South-Eastern Egypt, focusing on areas that are both mountainous and less commonly explored. The text is based on surveys conducted by the author under the Egyptian Government from 1905 to 1908, aiming to document and share valuable geographical data in light of prior scattered literature. The opening of this work introduces the vast, rugged, and relatively unexplored region of South-Eastern Egypt, situating it between the Nile and the Red Sea. John Ball outlines the context of previous literature regarding the area and highlights the need for systematic study, noting that essential geographical features such as drainage lines and water sources are crucial for understanding the landscape. The introductory chapter serves as a foundation for the subsequent detailed exploration of the region’s natural characteristics, including landforms, geology, and the cultural aspects related to the local Bedouin tribes. Overall, Ball sets the stage for an in-depth investigation into a region that presents both challenges and richness in geological diversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
