Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. Another brief complete history of ancient engineering. Complements Landel's [Engineering in the Ancient World]. The chapters on water supply & civil engineering are very good. The later chapters on automata, instruments & clocks are very good as well. As Hill translated the treatise on the Archimedes water clock into English (not written by Archimedes, sadly), he probably knows his subject. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
It is impossible to understand the cultures and achievements of the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs, without knowing something of their technology. Rome, for example, made advances in many areas which were subsequently lost and not regained for more than a millenium. This is a knowledgeable yet lucid account of the wonderful triumphs and the limitations of ancient and medieval engineering. This book systematically describes what is known about the evolution of irrigation works, dams, bridges, roads, building construction, water and wind power, automata, and clocks, with references to the social, geographical, and intellectual context.
