Not many of us know that the Greeks and Romans were capable engineers. They made remarkable machines, not bettered until the Industrial Revolution. Perhaps the greatest achievement of the Romans was their water engineering, with aqueducts to carry water for miles to feed their complex municipal plumbing systems. In this fascinating study Dr Landels draws on evidence from archaeological and literary sources as well as his own engineering knowledge, to show how these machines were developed and made. Illustrated throughout with explanatory line drawings, this book is a surprising insight into the engineering know-how of these ancient civilisations. *Contents Power and energy sources; Water supplies and engineering; Water pumps; Cranes and hoists; Catapults; Ships and sea transport; Land transport; The progress of theoretical knowledge; The principal Greek and Roman writers on technological subjects; Bibliography. 224pp. (1999) 216 × 140mm ISBN 97881 7371 2289
