商品描述
Paving Our Ways covers the international history of road paving in an interesting, readable and technically accurate way. It provides an overview of the associated technologies in a historical context.
It examines the earliest pavements in Egypt and Mesopotamia and then moves to North Africa, Crete, Greece and Italy, before a review of pavements used by the Romans in their magnificent road system. After its empire collapsed, Roman pavements fell into ruin. The slow recovery of pavements in Europe began in France and then in England.
The work of Tr saguet, Telford and McAdam is examined. Asphalt and concrete slowly improved as paving materials in the second part of the 19th century. Major advances occurred in the 20th century with the availability of powerful machinery, pneumatic tyres and bitumen. The advances needed to bring pavements to their current development are explored, as are the tools for financing, constructing, managing and maintaining pavements.
The book should appeal to those interested in road paving, and in the history of engineering and transport. It can also serve as a text for courses in engineering history.

《鋪路的歷程》以有趣、易讀且技術準確的方式涵蓋了國際鋪路的歷史。它提供了與之相關技術的歷史背景概述。
本書探討了埃及和美索不達米亞最早的鋪面，然後轉向北非、克里特島、希臘和意大利，接著回顧了羅馬人在其壯麗的道路系統中使用的鋪面。在其帝國崩潰後，羅馬的鋪面陷入了廢墟。歐洲鋪面的緩慢復甦始於法國，然後是英國。
本書檢視了Tr saguet、Telford和McAdam的工作。隨著19世紀下半葉的發展，瀝青和混凝土作為鋪路材料逐漸改善。20世紀出現了重大進展，強大的機械設備、氣壓輪胎和瀝青的可用性促進了鋪路技術的發展。本書探討了將鋪面發展到當前水平所需的進步，以及融資、建設、管理和維護鋪面的工具。
本書應該會吸引對鋪路、工程和交通歷史感興趣的讀者，也可以作為工程歷史課程的教材。
