Singer C. et al (Eds.) A History of Technology. Volume I: From Early Times to Fall of Ancient Empires

Oxford University Press, 1954. — 920 p.The main object of this work is to provide students of technology and applied science with some humane and historical background for their studies. They may thus be helped to realize that the subject of their special training are parts of a very ancient process and are rooted in many civilizations. These volumes will not treat of such recent history of applied science and technology as must normally find some place in a technical education. They aim rather at providing a longer perspective of the ways in which the immensely complex technical knowledge of our civilization has come into being.Volume II
