Cambridge Library Collection: The Technology Collection

摘要

This is more of a review of a successful project by Cambridge University Press (CUP) than an individual review of a book. Digitally reprinted copies of out-of-print books can be disappointing, so it has been a pleasure to see the standard set by the Cambridge Library Collection and the republication of a number of out-of-print titles with some 175 titles under the Technology series. Sadly, the project started by CUP has now come to an end and with it the reissuing out-of-copyright scholarly books. However, the list of titles is impressive and of great interest to engineering historians and I would like to flag up two titles issued towards the end of the project in the Cambridge Library Collection: The Technology collection; David Stevenson, Life of Robert Stevenson: Civil Engineer, ISBN: 9781108070584, and Charles Stewart Drewry, A Memoir on Suspension Bridges, ISBN: 9781108070539.
