Ancient Greek Agriculture

Rail, Steam, and Speed: The Rocket and the Birth of Steam Locomotion
Call Number: EBOOK

The author shows how locomotives work and how they were developed -- from the gargantuan beam engines condensing low-pressure steam inside enormous cylinders to the small, high-pressure-driven engines of the maverick miner Trevithick. He adapted the engines to power road carriages, but atrocious roads led him to build an engine that could run on rails.
Waterways and Canal-Building in Medieval England
Call Number: EBOOK

A book centring on late Anglo-Saxon and Anglo-Norman canals may come as a surprise; it is generally assumed that no such things existed. Persuasive evidence has, however, been unearthed independently by several scholars, and has stimulated this first serious study of improved waterways in England between the eleventh and fourteenth centuries.
The Machine in America: A Social History of Technology
Call Number: EBOOK

From the medieval farm implements used by the first colonists to the invisible links of the Internet, the history of technology in America is a history of society as well.

Science and Technology in World History
Call Number: EBOOK

The authors identify two great scientific traditions: the useful sciences, patronized by the state from the dawn of civilization, and scientific theorizing, initiated by the ancient Greeks. They find that scientific traditions took root in China, India, and Central and South America, as well as in a series of Near Eastern empires, during late antiquity and the Middle Ages.
