A General History of Horology
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 fundamamental, new and original research.
On Butterfly Wings
On Butterfly Wings: A Journey of the Heart is the story of Jill St. James who, newly widowed, wonders what the future will bring. She is warm, unassuming and a bit naive. Everyday life brings joys of gardening, colorful butterflies, family, old friends, and new ones. Memories, at times comforting, are also haunting, painful reminders of abuse, disappointments, and young love lost."
