SUMMARY
"To those educated to view history as consisting almost entirely of the clash of armies in mortal combat and statesmen in sonorous debate, concern with safety pins and central heating may seem a worm's-eye view. Perhaps this might be so were the author someone else. Mr. de Camp, however, has the trick of being able to show technology engaging in feats as full of derring-do as those of Hannibal's army....'The Ancient Engineers' is history as it should be told, both in content and in style.L. Sprague De Camp is the author of 'The Ancient Engineers - Technology And Invention From The Earliest Times To The Renaissance' with ISBN 9780880294560 and ISBN 0880294566.
