Windmills and Waterwheels Explained

Description

(Stan Yorke)  For many centuries waterwheels provided the only source of power available to man apart from farm animals and his own sweat.  Used on these islands for at least 2,000 years, they were joined in the 12^th century by windmills, both reigning supreme until the arrival of the steam engine in the 18^th century.

This book sets out to explain just that.  Using easy to follow text, plus extensive drawings and photographs, the author takes us on a journey of discovery.
