{"product_id":"9781836740568","title":"Egypt Ignited : How Fossil Capital Arrived on the Nile","description":"\u003cp\u003eBeginning in the 1820s, Egypt became one of the first non-European countries to pursue steam-driven industrialization after Britain. This new account of 19th-century Egypt traces how fossil capital began in the Nile Valley, entangling imperial ambition, forced dependency, debt and colonialism. From European engineers and financiers to Pashas, peasants, and plantation workers, Khairy follows the human and environmental toll of industrial modernity. We encounter boilers exploding, oxen dying in polluted canals, rebels executed for resisting machines they believed were powered by underground demons demanding their children's futures.   A sweeping story of empire, extraction, and resistance, this is a vital history of capitalism's global spread.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product__accordion accordion quick-add-hidden\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdetails id=\"Details-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003csummary role=\"button\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"summary__title\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003ch2 class=\"h4 accordion__title inline-richtext\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tProduct Information\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003csvg class=\"icon icon-caret\" viewbox=\"0 0 10 6\"\u003e\u003cpath fill=\"currentColor\" fill-rule=\"evenodd\" d=\"M9.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0L5 4.293 1.354.646a.5.5 0 0 0-.708.708l4 4a.5.5 0 0 0 .708 0l4-4a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e\n\t\t\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cdiv class=\"accordion__content rte\" id=\"ProductAccordion-collapsible_tab_dDVEeR-template--25151688147283__main\"\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"metafield-multi_line_text_field\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amr Khairy\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDate of Publication:\u003c\/b\u003e 27\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePagination:\u003c\/b\u003e 336 pages\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e N\/A\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eImprint:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ePublished By:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso Books\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eBook Classification:\u003c\/b\u003e Egypt\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 234 x 153\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eISBN13\/EAN\/SKU:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781836740568\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\u003c\/details\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Amr Khairy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57006318616962,"sku":"9781836740568","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/2180\/9347\/files\/9781836740568.jpg?v=1793295226","url":"https:\/\/mountfloridabooks.com\/products\/9781836740568","provider":"Mount Florida Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
