      abstract = {This book presents a systematic design methodology for  decoding the interior structure of the Antikythera  mechanism, an astronomical device from ancient Greece. The  historical background, surviving evidence and  reconstructions of the mechanism are introduced, and the  historical development of astronomical achievements and  various astronomical instruments are investigated. Pursuing  an approach based on the conceptual design of modern  mechanisms and bearing in mind the standards of science and  technology at the time, all feasible designs of the six  lost/incomplete/unclear subsystems are synthesized as  illustrated examples, and 48 feasible designs of the  complete interior structure are presented. This approach  provides not only a logical tool for applying modern  mechanical engineering knowledge to the reconstruction of  the Antikythera mechanism, but also an innovative research  direction for identifying the original structures of the  mechanism in the future. In short, the book offers valuable  new insights for all readers who are interested in the  Antikythera mechanism.},
