A revised and updated edition of Professor Duncan Dowson's classic
"History of Tribology" which has been unavailable for a number of
years.
The scope of Professor Dowson's survey is broad in time, place,
and subject. All the major periods in the history of science and
technology are covered, including the much-neglected Middle Ages,
the Renaissance and other recognised eras of scientific
development. For each period the author puts tribology in its
social, environmental, and historical context, to show that the
science and technology of tribology developed from the need to
solve the practical problems of the day.
Lavishly illustrated with photographs, diagrams and line
drawings, this edition contains much new material dealing with
recent developments in tribology. This immense historical survey
has been written for all those concerned with tribology in the
belief that future developments can benefit greatly from lessons
learnt from the achievements and problems of the past.
