Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book takes a fascinating journey through the history of engineering, a subject often overlooked in broader historical accounts. The author argues that the history of engineering is more than just a chronicle of technological achievements; it's a powerful force that has shaped the course of human civilization. The book explores engineering's impact across different cultures and eras, from the early stone tools of prehistoric savages to the monumental pyramids of Egypt and the vast irrigation systems of ancient civilizations. It delves into the engineering feats of the Greeks and Romans, their innovative use of materials and construction techniques, and the influence of these achievements on the development of the modern world. The author also highlights the role of engineering in shaping the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution, demonstrating how technological advancements have driven social, economic, and political changes. The book examines the importance of engineering in the development of transportation, communication, and infrastructure, and the profound impact these innovations have had on the lives of ordinary people. This book offers a unique perspective on history, demonstrating that the evolution of engineering has been a fundamental factor in the progress of humankind. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.

Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.

We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.

Returns

As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.

Thank you in advance!
