Summary: "The Binding of the Nile and the New Soudan" by Sidney Cornwallis Peel is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the regulation of the Nile River and its consequential impacts, particularly focusing on Egyptian irrigation practices and the socio-political context surrounding them. The opening of the work introduces the geological and historical significance of the Nile, detailing its evolution from a sea-filled valley to a source of life for the ancient civilizations in Egypt. Peel elaborates on the intricate relationship between the river's flooding cycles and agricultural practices, emphasizing the importance of irrigation systems historically established in the region. This opening portion not only sets the groundwork for understanding the unity of Nileland but also alludes to the depth of ecological and political challenges that arose from the dependence on the river, foreshadowing the detailed analysis to come in the subsequent chapters.
