To keep shipping costs as low as possible, we recommend placing smaller print book orders whenever practical. Orders that exceed our print partner's U.S. shipping weight limit may be fulfilled from a U.K. facility, resulting in significantly higher shipping charges. If you're purchasing several print books, placing two or more smaller orders will often reduce your shipping costs.
The River Rises — The manager of a grain store on the Nile Delta has been watching the nilometer since before the second hour on a Tuesday in August 1821, and the river is rising too fast. He has numbers from previous years and a decision that has to be made before the water makes it for him — whether to move the grain to the upper store now, while it can still be moved, or to wait and see if the level holds. He will not know if he was right until the river tells him.
