It examines how their development evolved in conjunction with the economies of the societies which built and operated them. Coverage also includes problems of reconstruction and the estimation of performance. Illustrated with numerous b&w photos and drawings. 10x12" Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
