A History of Engineering in Classical and Medieval… door Donald Hill
Another brief complete history of ancient engineering. Complements Landel's [Engineering in the Ancient World]. The chapters on water supply & civil engineering are very good. The later chapters on automata, instruments & clocks are very good as well. As Hill translated the treatise on the Archimedes water clock into English (not written by Archimedes, sadly), he probably knows his subject.
