4.0 out of 5 starsThoroughly Researched
By Richard Bradley on May 9, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I am still reading this book. It is obvious that the author has conducted an enormous amount of research into this topic. He labors to layout a clear picture of what life was like in England during the 1100s and the role and impact of the Church upon English society at that time. I would gladly recommend this book to anyone with a serious interest in the history of timekeeping and the development of timekeeping technologies.

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent review of medieval math
By Herbert Sauro on August 27, 2008
Format: Hardcover
Loved this book. Although the book's title suggests it's about clocks, its scope is much broader and includes material about how science, mathematics and philosophy were intertwined with religion and everyday life in 12/13th century England. Personally I found the book extremely well written and a pleasure to read.

5.0 out of 5 starsMust be good
By A. J. Costello on February 24, 2006
Format: Hardcover
This book was recommended in a clock magazine. It describes the making of a medieval astronomical clock in England. It must be excellent, because ordered on Jan 4, it has not yet arrived (February 24). Evidently it is in great demand, or very short supply. Amazon, in inviting me to write this review, apparently does not know that it has still not arrived. Finally, ordering it elsewhere (it was delivered within a week!) I can confirm that it is excellent, though it reuires good math skills.
