A History of Technology #2

by Charles Joseph Singer (Editor), E.J. Holmyard (Contributor)

This is the second volume of A History of Technology which is to be completed in five volumes and will cover the subject from the Old Stone Age to the later nineteenth century. It is written in plain language, with few specialist terms, so as to be understood by those with a minimum of technical or scientific training. Very great care has been taken with the illustrations, nearly all of which are specially drawn. Every opportunity is taken of conveying information graphically by maps, charts and tables.
