Description: A General History of Horology describes instruments used for the finding and measurement of time from Antiquity to the 21st century. In geographical scope it ranges from East Asia to the Americas. The instruments described are set in their technical and social contexts and there is also discussion of the literature the historiography and the collecting of the subject. The book features the use of case studies to represent larger topics that cannot be completely covered in a single book. The international body of authors have endeavoured to offer a fully world - wide survey accessible to students historians collectors and the general reader based on a firm understanding of the technical basis of the subject. At the same time as the work offers a synthesis of current knowledge of the subject it also incorporates the results of some fundamental new and original research.
