Publisher's Notes
With his interest in architecture and his military and civil engineering knowledge, Max Schwartz makes history come alive by tracing the advancement of the ancient science of engineering. Using the Bible as a major source and including evidence from archaeological finds and ancient texts, Schwartz shows the interaction between engineering and the biblical world, offering a unique look at the engineering feats of this time. The author answers questions about the people of the ancient Mideast such as: How did they build those magnificent palaces and fortresses? What type of sanitation systems did they have? How did they construct the ingenious catapults and battering rams? What methods of transportation did they use? This one-of-a-kind book discusses advances in science and engineering that gave the ancient Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, Babylonians, and Israelites the tools to maintain their societies, but it also gives new insight into the Bible.

A History of Engineering in Classical and Medieval Times
by Donald Routledge Hill
In this comprehensive history, Donald Hill opens a window on medieval and classical engineering. The book focuses on on Greece, Rome and medieval Western Europe, but also includes interesting information on Middle Eastern technology. Documenting over 1800 years, Donald Hill illustrates how classical and medieval engineers designed early irrigation systems, dams, bridges, clocks and how they harnessed the power of both water and wind. Working largely without a quantified, scientific basis for their designs, these early engineers studied the properties of materials and the way in which fluids and solids behaved in certain conditions. They then applied this knowledge to efficiently solve problems. This fascinating study documents over 1800 years of early engineering.
