Description: "Jack Lindsay is a classicist and polymath. His histories always are fascinating, full of rich detail: including, in this case, Greek science and its technological applications. It is certainly a more technical book than his cultural-historical ones, but still eminently readable without requiring much technical background on the reader's part. It is based on the concepts, not on simply displaying devices. And this is a history of technology, not a picture-book of ancient weaponry. Lists 87 black-and-white illustrations, including a few exotic weapons which are never mentioned (let alone illustrated) anywhere else." Like new hardcover with jacket, clean and unmarked. 510 pages and about 1.5 by 6 by 9 inches. BARNES & NOBLE Rediscovers
