His publications include Modernization and British Colonial Rule in Egypt, Private Enterprise and Economic Change in Egypt and Worlds Together, Worlds Apart: A History of the Modern World.

This video discusses the ‘divergence’ of a vector field. Divergence is one of the basic operations of vector calculus and, loosely speaking, may be thought of as a type of derivative in vector calculus. Dr Chris Tisdell introduces the idea of divergence, discusses some examples and also gives a physical interpretation of divergence in terms of ‘flux density’.
