But it's quite a wonder how well this book has been received by many readers, and has not been criticized for being over-descriptive (or boring). I also imagined the regular reader might not like this as much. Personally, I found those fascinating, as I love all things Engineering. I did not at all expected this book to contain so much information. Then on the other hand it has so much more what we would never expect: Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Geography, Geology, Astrology, Navigation, Cultivation, Food Production, Metallurgy, Biology, Medicine and so many more, not in mere statements, but in very descriptive explanations. One one hand, it contains what we normally look for in a book like this, elements related to a great adventure. This book is one of the most complete books I have ever read - literally. "Before all masters, necessity is the one most listened to, and who teaches the best."
