Yet this picturesque artifact was for centuries man's primary mechanical source of power and was the foundation upon which mills and other industries developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eStronger than a Hundred Men\u003c\/i\u003e explores the development of the vertical water wheel from its invention in ancient times through its eventual demise as a source of power during the Industrial Revolution. Spanning more than 2000 years, Terry Reynolds's account follows the progression of this labor-saving device from Asia to the Middle East, Europe, and America-covering the evolution of the water wheel itself, the development of dams and reservoirs, and the applications of water power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terry S.
