Publisher Synopsis
From the reviews:"This book is a must for ancient historians, an asset for historians of technology of any period and an eye-opener to the general reader..." (Classic Review, 36:1, 1986) "This is really a book about evidence and sources and how to handle them. It is as much historiographical as historical, displaying thereby a typical North American pre-occupation with sources at the expense of subjects.

(The Newcomen Society Bulletin, August 1986) Read more...
