_a"The problems of measuring time and space have occupied man's mind for centuries. This lavishly illustrated volume traces five hundred years of progress in the mechanics of determining distance and duration, together with changing fashions in form and style. The authors first examine the finest achievements of the European clockmakers' art and skill; they then turn their attention to scientific instruments for gauging spatial dimensions. The pieces described - which include the tower clocks of Venice and Berne, table clocks, pocket watches, clockmakers' jewels, astrolabes, planetariums, sundials, and hourglasses - have long fascinated specialists and collectors, who are now provided with a large body of extremely valuable information on these instruments that will interest scholar and general reader alike."-- _cFrom the publisher. |
