Authors:
- Can be considered a novelty in the area of History of Science and Technology, since it addresses attention to technical contents with commented illustrations in the historical developments of Mechanism Design over time
- An illustrated history of machines and mechanisms which gives a complete panorama of the many aspects and subjects that contributed to the developments of machines and related disciplines
- May be of interest for scholars but also for a wider public since the figures and comments are directed to a general understanding as well as specialized interpretations
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: History of Mechanism and Machine Science (HMMS, volume 10)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This work by mechanical engineers Bautista Paz … and colleagues provides a very short historical overview of machines. … It covers much mechanical engineering history, and if one wants to get an idea of the breadth and depth of the field, then this volume will do the job. … Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates.” (A. M. Strauss, Choice, Vol. 48 (3), November, 2010)
“This history survey with an engineering approach is written by a group of four authors. … The book is divided into eight chapters which are presented in chronological order. … The book is instructive, well readable and a good introduction into the historical development of machines and mechanisms … .” (Rüdiger Thiele, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)
