Lost Knowledge: The Concept of Vanished Technologies and Other Human Histories examines the idea of lost knowledge, reaching back to a period between myth and history. It investigates a peculiar idea found in a number of early texts: that there were civilizations with knowledge of sophisticated technologies, and that this knowledge was obscured or destroyed over time along with the civilization that had created it. This book presents critical studies of a series of early Chinese, South Asian, and other texts that look at the idea of specific “lost” technologies, such as mechanical flight and the transmission of images. There is also an examination of why concepts of a vanished “golden age” were prevalent in so many cultures. Offering an engaging and investigative look at the propagation of history and myth in technology and culture, this book is sure to interest historians and readers from many backgrounds.

This technological treasury of hidden histories uncovers gadgets and gizmos from the ancient and recent past, creating a richly detailed gift-book perfect for budding historians looking for a fresh take on the non-fiction they know and love. See inside steam-powered robots from the Roman Empire, learn the secrets of medieval alchemy, and marvel at an earthquake detector from ancient China. Forget your dusty history books--this is a book of marvels that are stranger than fiction. Each entry is linked to a real, up-to-the-minute STEM topic to show just how much we can learn from the ancient world. Discover what the Rosetta Stone has in common with A.I. and what a shipwrecked artifact from ancient Greece can tell us about modern-day computers. Spanning five continents and thousands of years, The Book of Lost Knowledge covers: - Incredible innovations from the ancient world, including razor-sharp obsidian tools, a mystical Viking compass, and Aboriginal Australian songlines. - Enormous libraries that once housed knowledge now lost to time, such as those of Alexandria and Baghdad. - Spotlight inventors whose wildest dreams went unrealized--ranging from the original Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci, to computing pioneer Ada Lovelace. Did-you-know historical narratives meet in-depth detail on the science behind each invention, with text written by science communicator and children's non-fiction author Emily Dodd. The technologies, inventors, and artifacts are reimagined in Christian Gralingen's puzzlebox illustrations, which open up these machines and invite readers of all ages to solve the mysteries of the distant past.
