For this week's Roaming and Reading, we head to the Nile, the waterway that nourishes the dry and complex country of Egypt.

Our guide today is author Toby Wilkinson. He's an historian and expert on Egyptian civilization. His new book is titled, "The Nile: A Journey Downriver through Egypt's Past & Present."

Kerri's book recommendation: Stacy Schiff's "Cleopatra: A Life."
