Summary: The whole story of Renaissance technology
Comment: A fascinating survey of how to do or make almost anything. Beautuful illustrations. Nothing like it.

Rating: 4
Summary: The High Tech Guide to 17th Century Europe and America.
Comment: This book presents in fantastic plates an insite into the technology available to 17th Century France. This is also the technology enjoyed by the early settlers of North America and Australia.

The art work in the book in gripping. I first saw this book in a library and rushed to buy it. Aside from its beauty, the book is very practical. I know that with a copy of this book, some clay, lumber and a timber saw, I will soon be casting bells and cannons, making my own blast furnace and maybe even a bronze statue.

This book helps you realise just how much effort was involved in producing many of the every day things we enjoy.

I gave a copy of this book to my dad who loves it.

A must have for when the "Big One" drops.
