Recenzje

A valuable study of surviving Greco-Roman portable sundials, which offers an original geographical analysis, and neatly places them in their broader historical context. A striking demonstration of how much artifact studies can contribute to the analysis of past societies, and a foundation for all future work."-Anthony Turner, author of Mathematical Instruments in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
