As an older book, it has its limitations. Research into the development of science and technology is much more mature than it was when this book was written, in the early 20th century. The narrative is readable, but there are a lot of language anachronisms as well as cultural baggage that could be happily tossed aside today. All in all, worth the read if you are looking for what early 20th century Americans thought about the sciences of Ancient Egypt and Babylonia through to Rome.
