Sundials, Their Theory and Construction

by Albert Edmund Waugh

Sundials, Their Theory and Construction Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Fascinating approach to sundials. On one hand, it is a rigorous appraisal of the science of sundials including mathematical treatment and pertinent astronomical background. On the other hand, it provides a nontechnical treatment simple enough so that several of the dials can be built by children. 106 illustrations.

Synopsis:

Far and away the best, most thorough coverage of ideas, mathematics concerned, types, construction, adjusting anywhere. Simple, non-technical treatment allows even children to build several of these dials. Over 100 illustrations.
