Paperback. Zustand: Gut. 263 p.: Ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Buchrücken ausgeblichen, sonst guter Zustand / spine faded, otherwise good condition. - 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 book, which could only have been written by an engineer who is also a historian and renowned scholar of ancient Arabic, fills a gap in our understanding of those impressive societies in which pyramids and cathedrals, arches and aqueducts, roads and bridges, astrolabes and clocks, were designed and built thus laying the foundation for all our modem technological breakthroughs. Dr. Hill gives a knowledgeable yet lucid account of the wonderful triumphs and the limitations of ancient and medieval engineering. He systematically describes what is known about the evolution of irrigation works, dams, bridges, roads, building construction, water and wind power, automata, and clocks, with shrewd references to the social, geographical, and intellectual context. / CONTENTS List of Plates List of Figures Abbreviations Acknowledgements Preface 1.
