The author flubbed some of his dates and therefore some of his conclusions are innaccurate. Specifically I'm talking about the "Mechanical" age based on water and wind...his date for the beginning of these developments (such as the waterwheel and whindmill) are off by at least 300-400 years.I also disagree with the conclusion about how this influenced warfare or fortified architecture...
