    EPILOGUE
    ROGER H. GUICHARD JR.
    This book represents the retrospective view of Egypt by a highly readable polymath. His description of Egypt, the subject of nearly half of his time overseas living and working in the Arab and Muslim World, shows that it has lost none of its attraction, and the celebrated light of Egypt has lost none of its luster. The caricature of Hosni Mubarak that appears on the front cover...

    MY STORY
    ROGER H. GUICHARD JR.
    My Story tells the tale of one man's coming to adulthood in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Because of his international focus, the Author had said little about a subject that might interest a reader familiar with his existing body of work, that is, himself. So, he has turned a penetrating gaze from his customary subjects--people and places in the Middle Ea...

    AT THE MARGINS
    ROGER H. GUICHARD JR.
    At the Margins tells the story of living and working in the Afghan program in Pakistan for three years in the early 1990s followed by a year in Niger in West Africa. The title comes from the fact that South and Central Asia and West Africa represent relative extremes in the geographical reach of Islam. Afghanistan should need no introduction. Niger may seem an odd pairing with ...

    MASR
    ROGER H. GUICHARD JR.
    Visitors have often remarked on the light of Egypt. There is something about the soft diffusion of sunlight in the country that makes it visually special. Beginning in the early nineteenth century a combination of that light and the new, more sensitive technology of lithography conspired together to allow artists to capture with unprecedented fidelity the country's monuments, P...

    NIEBUHR IN EGYPT
    ROGER H. GUICHARD JR.
    As a member of the Royal Danish Expedition to Arabia, Carsten Niebuhr is justly celebrated for his contribution to an understanding of the Arab world. But the most concentrated period of time he and the expedition spent together was not in Arabia at all. It was in Egypt. The sojourn in that country was an unexpected boon, Egypt not even appearing on the expedition's original it...
