The invention of the mechanical clock was one of the most important turning points in the history of science and technology. This study revealed six centuries of mechanical clockwork preceding the first mechanical escapement clocks of the West of about AD 1300. Detailed and fully illustrated accounts of elaborate Chinese clocks are accompanied by a discussion of the social context of the Chinese inventions and an assessment of their possible transmission to medieval Europe. For this revised edition, Dr Joseph Needham has contributed a new foreword on recent research and perceptions. In a supplement John H. Combridge details a modern reconstruction of Su Sung's timekeeping device, which together with textual studies modifies our understanding of this important early technology."--Publisher's information., , , Modern Book, , , ML2251, , , Su, Song,, 1021-1101., 1, 0, Astronomical clocks, Astronomy, Medieval, , , 0, 0, History., Instruments., China, Wang, Ling., Price, Derek J. de Solla, Su, Song,, 1922-1983., 1021-1101., 1, 1, 1, , , , (Derek John de Solla),, Antiquarian Horological Society monograph ;, , 0, no. 1., Publisher description, Table of contents only, Inhaltsverzeichnis, 4, 4, 4, 2, 1, 2, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/cam032/85031363.html, http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0835/85031363-t.html, http://www.gbv.de/dms/bowker/toc/9780521322768.pdf, Baker & Taylor, BKTY, 90.00, 90.00, 0521322766, , , 0001034519, active, HELD BY AP$ - 257 OTHER HOLDINGS, , , c, a, m, a, a13008552zDLCdURIhFulliLCCkDDCnSummarytContentsu20130718, a232507203zMCSbHARVARD UNIVhLess-than-full batchiLCCu20100725, a182708652zSMIbSMITHSONIAN INSTITUTIONhFulliLCCkDDCu20100726, a134275327zRBNbBROWN UNIVhPrepubiLCCkDDCu20100709, a235316602zHLSbHARVARD UNIV, HARVARD COL LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCu20100625, a487795484zN15bNEW YORK UNIV, GROUP BATCHLOADhFulliLCCkDDCu20100722, a175377967zPULbPRINCETON UNIVhFulliLCCkDDCu20100729, a135249166zUBYbBRIGHAM YOUNG UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100728, a273453765zSTFbSTANFORD UNIV LIBRdURIhPrepubiLCCkDDCu20121106, a133311297zNLFbNELSON-ATKINS MUS OF ARThFulliLCCkDDCu20100728, a185637044zPAUbUNIV OF PENNSYLVANIAhFulliLCCkDDCu20100718, a127375115zIPSbINSTITUTE FOR ADV STUDY LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20100726, a265368458zCUDbCAMBRIDGE UNIVhFullu20100708, a238453778zHMYbHARVARD UNIV, YENCHING LIBRhLess-than-full batchiLCCu20100713, a687433155zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20101130, a687849212zYUSbYALE UNIV LIBRhFulliLCCkDDCu20101130, aZ0bAP$, QB107 .N32 1986
