The Ancients
Ancient History, Mythology & Legend Ancient Inventions
(Peter James & Nick Thorpe)
Synopsis:
Few people know that brain
surgery was performed in the Stone Age; a form of computer was used by the ancient
Greeks; the Roman Empire had plumbing. Written with the pure joy of discovery,
brimming with odd facts and entertaining curiosities, Ancient Inventions is a
dazzling celebration of inventiveness. Illustrated with more than 300 line drawings. Technology in the
Ancient World
(Henry Hodges)
A flint hand-ax made more than 250,000
years ago...A kiln c.3500 B.C. in operation...A water clock c. 200 B.C....A complex
crane, six times the height of a man, used by ancient Roman builders...These and
many more complicated inventions are included in this lively history of technology
in the ancient world, from its origins in the "chipped stone industries" of the
Paleolithic period to the sophisticated tools and machines already in use when
Rome fell in the 5th century A.D. Examined in fascinating detail are the inventions
of navigation and overland transportation, of city construction and water works,
of war and domestic life and luxury. Although the focus is on Mesopotamia, Egypt,
Greece & Rome, there are side glances at ancient China, India & pre-Columbian
America, and a glimpse of the mechanical curiosities in the museum of Alexandria--including
such oddities as the Roman "vacuum" flask and a Chinese seismograph. —Our Bargain

Review
Author: Mike Gascoigne Quote From Summary:
"Before the time of Darwin and Huxley, most history books started off with
a brief statement about creation and the flood, and how the three sons of Noah
went to different parts of the world, Shem to Asia, Ham to Africa and Japheth
to Europe. Then they would continue the history from that point onwards. A considerable
amount of information was available, from non-Biblical sources, and much of it
is still available today, although it sometimes requires the retrieval of obscure
material from second-hand bookshops and library archives.: " |

Genesis Record: A Scientific and Devotional Commentary on the Book of Beginnings
(Author biography: Henry Madison Morris Who
Moved the Stone?
(Frank Morison)
From The Publisher:
"I wanted
to take this last phase of the life of Jesus, with all its quick and pulsating
drama, its sharp, clear-cut background of antiquity, and its tremendous psychological
and human interest--to strip it of its overgrowth of primitive beliefs and dogmatic
suppositions, and to see this supremely great Person as He really was." Such was
English journalist Frank Morison's drive to learn of Christ. The strangeness of
the Resurrection story had captured his attention, and, influenced by skeptic
thinkers at the turn of the century, he set out to prove that the story of Christ's
Resurrection was only a myth. His probings, however, led him to discover the validity
of the biblical record in a moving, personal way.
Who Moved the Stone? is
considered by many to be a classic apologetic on the subject of the Resurrection.
Morison includes a vivid and poignant account of Christ's betrayal, trial, and
death as a backdrop to his retelling of the climatic Resurrection itself. The
