As Gregorovich writes
"The Ancient World created many of the inventions which have
contributed to the progress of civilization. Among these are a
number which originated in Ukraine. Some of these are noted in a new
book Ancient Inventions, by Peter James and Nick Thorpe (New York:
Ballantine Books, 1994). In this book review we would like to focus
on these inventions which originated in Ukraine according to James
and Thorpe and include some additional items they missed."
