Time and Time-Tellers by James W. Benson is a comprehensive exploration of the history and science of timekeeping. The book delves into the evolution of time measurement, from ancient sundials to modern atomic clocks, and the various methods and devices that have been used to keep time throughout history. Benson also discusses the impact of timekeeping on society and culture, including the development of calendars, the standardization of time zones, and the use of time in religious and spiritual practices. Throughout the book, Benson provides detailed explanations of the technical aspects of timekeeping, including the mechanics of clocks and watches, the principles of time synchronization, and the science of timekeeping accuracy. With its engaging writing style and in-depth coverage of the subject matter, Time and Time-Tellers is an essential read for anyone interested in the history and science of timekeeping.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
