Description
The history of precision technology may seem a small, specialized subject, concerned with the development of such mundane, even banal objects as sun-dials, sand-glasses, clocks or rulers and other measuring instruments. Yet their development, as the author holds, has helped to condition how we relate to the natural world and is therefore a key aspect of cultural history.Author Information
