Horology
Combining hora (hour or time) with logy (the study of), the word horology is a noun that describes the study and measurement of time and the art of making clocks and watches.This book provides a fresh perspective and conveys the author's unique passion for an enthralling topic. It is part coffee-table book, part technical reference and part philosophical discourse. "Horology" endeavors to cover as many watch and time-related themes as possible in order to provide a reasonably broad understanding of the world of horology, including background about the watch industry, the parts of a watch, and the history, science and philosophy of time. The book also discusses the ascendant smartwatch industry and its place in the overall global watchmaking industry.The 358-page book contains over 100 full-color original images and illustrations including numerous watch beauty-shots for popular and luxury brands.
Horology
This beautifully illustrated volume presents an in-depth look at horology, the scientific study of time and timekeeping. Brimming with more than 150 detailed and full-color images, illustrations, charts, and technical drawings, it's a must-have for anyone interested in the art of watchmaking and watch design. But it's also much more. If you've ever wondered how watches work, or thought about how time influences our lives, then this book is also for you. It offers a comprehensive overview of watch styles, movements, complications, and parts, as well as the basics of starting and caring for a watch collection.

Cell Biology of the Axon
Recent years have witnessed striking advances in research on axons at a cellular level that substantially impact our current understanding of axonal biology. Newer findings and their ramifications are critically reviewed in the 16 chapters of this volume by authors highly qualified by virtue of their scientific contributions to research areas they know and write about. Five basic areas (I to V) germane to axonal biology are highlighted, beginning with (I) signaling interactions mediating myelination, and differentiation of axonal membrane domains; (IIa) issues surrounding organization and transport dynamics of neurofilaments in axons, (IIb) mechanisms regulating microtubule organization and ...
