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.
