dc.descriptionThe viewpoint taken in this book is one of a modern-day engineer reviewing the works and accomplishments of his ancient colleagues. Perhaps this is best stated as a work dedicated to appreciation of the problems encountered, the technological means available, and the solutions made to resolve vital issues related to agricultural production and urban water supply systems. Underlying these accomplishments were the development of governmental structures with central planning and organizational skills that revealed the priorities that societies faced with environmental challenges related to agricultural and city development. The engineers’ role in these societies is therefore emphasized as the provider of technologies to carry out the plans of the ruling elite; therein resides the subject of the book.-
