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.
