The present study aims to show that the historical trajectory of the period was marked by specific processes that characterize most of the world's civilizations: the role of the ruling elite, the growth of bureaucracy, the proliferation of interest groups, and adaptation to climate change, to name but a few--and the way that these processes held the germ of ultimate collapse. The case is made that the rise and fall of the Old Kingdom state is of relevance to the study of the anatomy of development of any complex civilization.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>A highly readable volume full of notes and references to satisfy the academics but equally appealing to anyone with an interest in Egypt's great founding civilization.--<i>Ancient Egypt Magazine</i></p> <p>Recommended--<i>CHOICE</i></p><br>
