Fine cloth copy in an equally fine dw. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. ; 240 pages; Description: 240 p. : ill. (some col. ) , facsims. (some col. ) ; 31 cm. Subjects: Technology--History. Inventors. Notes: Includes index and bibliography: p. 234. Summary: The most amazing thing is that many "modern" technologies have roots that go far back into history. We tend to think of our forebears as primitive and simple. I believe that some of the best mechanical engineering was done in the beginnings of the industrial revolution. If you are a parent and you have an inquisitive child that wants to know how things work, I highly recommend this book. 1 Kg.
