Joseph Gies – Cathedral, Forge and Waterwheel: Technology and Invention in the Middle Ages Publisher: Harper Perennial (January 6, 1995) | Language: English | ISBN-10: 0060925817 | EPUB + MOBI | 368 pages | 2.5 mb + 2.6 mb Moving chronologically through a millennium (500-1500 A.D.), the authors (who have written numerous books on medieval life, including Life in a Medieval City , LJ 2/1/70) show that the term “Dark Ages” is a misnomer by deftly tracing the period’s “main technological elements, . . . their known or probable sources, and their principal impacts.” In addition to the technological developments highlighted in the book’s title, the authors cover such topics as the textile industry and shipbuilding/rigging, plus obligatory topics like printing, engineering, and gunpowder. Throughout, they nimbly weave medieval cultural history into the discussion. Informative, readable, enjoyable, and well written, this work is directed to general readers. Highly recommended for all collections.
