4.0 out of 5 stars
fascinating ancient technology,
By Stanley R Sieler Jr "sieler" (Cupertino, CA United States) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Book of Ingenious Devices: Kitáb al-Hiyal. By The Banú (sons of) Músà bin Shákir (Hardcover)
This book is a reprint (and translation) of an ancient work on "ingenious devices". Don't look here for information on medieval clockwork European devices, however. The primary focus of the book is on Arab devices, and mostly on those involving water (particularly highly ingenious fountains). The book was shipped from Pakistan, and the shippers responded quickly to email.
