History of Mechanical Technology Robert O. Woods This is a wonderfully through review of mechanical technology through the ages. I have a sizable library devoted to the subject and this is probably the best addition.. Gene Bowker said interesting topic but a "tough" read. I found the topic fascinating and the author does a great job of explaining it. The book is NOT a light read.It gets a interesting topic but a "tough" read Gene Bowker I found the topic fascinating and the author does a great job of explaining it. The book is NOT a light read.It gets a 4-star rating for numerous illustrations and the way that the "story makes sense" as it describes the progress of inventions.
