Lucas, Adam, author. Wind, Water, Work : Ancient and Medieval Milling Technology. Boston : BRILL, 2005. ©2006. 1 online resource (463 pages) text txt rdacontent computer c rdamedia online resource cr rdacarrier Technology and Change in History Description based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. This book is the most comprehensive empirical study to date of the social and technical aspects of milling during the ancient and medieval periods. Drawing on the latest archaeological evidence and historical studies, the book examines the chronological development and technical details of handmills, beast mills, watermills and windmills from the first millennium BCE to c. 1500. It discusses the many and varied uses to which mills were turned in the civilisations of Rome, China, Islam and Europe, and the many types of mill that existed. The book also includes comparative regional studies of the social and economic significance of milling, and tackles several important historiographical issues, such as whether technological stagnation was a characteristic of late Antiquity, whether there was an "industrial revolution" in the European Middle Ages based on waterpower, and how contemporary studies in the social shaping of technology can shed light on the study of pre-modern technology. Includes bibliographical references (pages [401]-418) and index.
