Engineering: An Illustrated History from Ancient Craft to Modern Technology

Knowledge does not arrive fully formed. It requires many minds to puzzle over the evidence, and, step by step, edge ever closer to an answer. This book tracks the history of engineering, where the knowledge revealed by science is put to work to create machines and structures that solve problems, save our time, and change the way we live.

As 12-page removable timeline embeds the story in historical context:

• See who did what when at a glance
• Find out what other great events were happening at the same time
• On the back of the timeline take a closer look at some marvels of modern engineering
