在奥斯曼帝国最早的环境史之一中，艾伦·米哈伊尔考察了帝国与其最赚钱的埃及省之间的关系。根据埃及农村各个城镇和村庄的地方记录以及奥斯曼帝国的帝国命令，本书描绘了自然资源控制权的变化如何从根本上改变了奥斯曼帝国在埃及和整个帝国的主权性质。在揭示埃及农民如何能够利用他们对当地环境的了解和经验来迫使帝国政府采取行动时，奥斯曼埃及的自然与帝国讲述了一个帝国的连接从埃及乡村的运河到伊斯坦布尔的宫殿，从安纳托利亚森林到红海海岸，从鼠疫跳蚤的叮咬到现代世界早期最强大的国家之一的命运。
In one of the first environmental histories of the Ottoman Empire, Alan Mikhail examines relations between the empire and its most lucrative province of Egypt. Based on both the local records of various towns and villages in rural Egypt and the imperial orders of the Ottoman state, this book charts how changes in the control of natural resources fundamentally altered the nature of Ottoman imperial sovereignty in Egypt and throughout the empire. In revealing how Egyptian peasants were able to use their knowledge and experience of local environments to force the hand of the imperial state, Nature and Empire in Ottoman Egypt tells a story of the connections of empire stretching from canals in the Egyptian countryside to the palace in Istanbul, from Anatolian forests to the shores of the Red Sea, and from a plague flea’s bite to the fortunes of one of the most powerful states of the early modern world.
