{"product_id":"9789069844329","title":"De Huysbou: A Reconstruction of an Unfinished Treatise on Architecture, Town Planning and Civil Engineering by Simon Stevin","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the greatest mathematicians and engineers of his day, Simon Stevin (1548-1620) is probably best known for popularizing decimal fractions. But few people know about his interest in architecture, as documented in \u003ci\u003eDe Huysbou\u003c\/i\u003e, a project that occupied the last twenty years of Stevin's life. This new translation includes passages from Stevin's text, an extensive bibliography, and an in-depth analysis of Stevin's theories of urban planning within a larger European context. It will be a valuable resource for historians of Stevin's work, as well as those interested in Dutch and European architecture and urban planning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Edita-The Publishing House of the Royal Netherlands Academy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47056175595760,"sku":"9789069844329","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789069844329_p0.jpg?v=1763671097","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789069844329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
