This review is from: Engineering in History (Dover Civil and Mechanical Engineering) (Paperback)
There are only a few engineering history books; this one is different than the rest. It is easy reading for a general audience. It relates cultures, materials, methods, and various branches of engineering throughtout history.I am really enjoying it.
