       Conclusions: What did they mean? 
520    "Lost Knowledge : The Concept of Vanished Technologies and
       Other Human Histories examines the idea of lost knowledge,
       reaching back to a period between myth and history. It 
       investigates a peculiar idea found in a number of early 
       texts: that there were civilizations with knowledge of 
       sophisticated technologies, and that this knowledge was 
       obscured or destroyed over time along with the 
       civilization that had created it. This book presents 
       critical studies of a series of early Chinese, South Asian,
       and other texts that look at the idea of specific 'lost' 
       technologies, such as mechanical flight and the 
       transmission of images. There is also an examination of 
       why concepts of a vanished 'golden age' were prevalent in 
       so many cultures. Offering an engaging and investigative 
       look at the propagation of history and myth in technology 
       and culture, this book is sure to interest historians and 
       readers from many backgrounds"--|cProvided by publisher.
