In this comprehensive history, Donald Hill opens a window on medieval and classical engineering. The book focuses on on Greece, Rome and medieval Western Europe, but also includes interesting information on Middle Eastern technology. Documenting over 1800 years, Donald Hill illustrates how classical and medieval engineers designed early irrigation systems, dams, bridges, clocks and how they harnessed the power of both water and wind. Working largely without a quantified, scientific basis for their designs, these early engineers studied the properties of materials and the way in which fluids and solids behaved in certain conditions. They then applied this knowledge to efficiently solve problems. This fascinating study documents over 1800 years of early engineering.

The Edwardian War was the first phase of the Hundred Years War of the late medieval times and lasted from 1337 to 1360. This war was between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of France. The Edwardian War celebrated the victories of Edward III of England and his son, the Black Prince over the French at the Battles of Crecy and Poiters. Edward III died in 1377 and his grandson, Richard II was crowned King of England at the young age of 10. Just before this war, the medieval warm period slowly transitioned into a little age and caused the Great famine from 1315 to 1317. This was also the time when plate armors such as the leather and metal gauntlet become popular. The reason is that the metal armor of the gauntlet protected the user from the sword better than the chainmail and other... Less
