A new volume of the Juanelo Turriano History of Engineering Collection has now been released.
This book contains a detailed and updated study of the aqueducts in what in Roman times was known as Hispania. It is divided into two major sections. The first addresses the origin, use, construction and ultimate disuse of these surprising infrastructures. The second, an exhaustive catalogue of the aqueducts on the Iberian Peninsula (66 in all), constitutes an enlightening supplement to the analysis of the region’s contribution to one of the most outstanding legacies of the history of civil engineering.
