Description

To truly grasp the achievements of the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs, one must understand the technology that powered their civilizations. This book provides a knowledgeable and lucid account of the engineering triumphs and limitations that shaped the ancient and medieval worlds. Through a systematic study, the text explores how various societies advanced through technological development. It covers the evolution of essential infrastructure and mechanics, including irrigation works, dams, bridges, and roads. You will also learn about the progress in building construction, water and wind power, automata, and clocks. By examining these developments, readers gain insight into how Roman advances in many areas were lost and not regained for more than a millennium. This work is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of technology and how engineering shaped human history.
