Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Welcome news for everyone interested in clocks is this brand-new book by the authority on American clocks. Brooks Palmer's previous volume, The Book of American Clocks, first published in 1950, has been reprinted many times and has become established as the definitive work on the subject. A Treasury of American Clocks contains more than 550 photographs, none of which appears in the earlier book. These illustrations of both faces and movements show the principal makes of clocks and timepieces in America from the early grandfathers to recent times. The examples represented were chosen as the most typical and interesting among thousands Mr. Palmer has viewed and studied over the past seventeen years--in museums, in private collections, and in dealers' shops. A treasury of American Clocks constitutes a chronological pictorial history, with full descriptive captions, covering such clocks as grandfather, banjo, lyre, gallery, pillar and scroll, shelf, steeple, novelty, and alarm. The additional list of Makers provides new data on clockmakers not previously described, as well as supplementary information on some of those listed in the first book. With this new book, as well as with The Book of American Clocks, to which it is a companion and sequel, Mr. Palmer has made a unique contribution in a field that has hitherto not received authoritative coverage." -- Book jacket

Book excerpt: This practical, informative and beautifully illustrated book will be essential reading for all those with a passion for mechanical clocks. It will be of particular interest to both amateurs and professionals alike who wish to work on clock cases and restore them in the correct way according to modern best practice. The authors, both experienced horological restorers, examine in detail the restoration processes and provide detailed descriptions, and a wealth of photographs and diagrams. Difficult, and often misunderstood, areas of restoration and conservation are explained in the context of twenty-first century thinking. The haphazard approach to clock case restoration, which has continued in some quarters almost to the present day, is no longer considered appropriate for preservation of the rapidly dwindling stock of clocks that represent our horological heritage. Accordingly, the authors emphasize that sensitive and sympathetic clock case restoration is essential and, indeed, is the most economically attractive approach to adopt. The book outlines the history of the main types of clock case made up to about one hundred years ago, and considers clock case woods and woodworking, and some of the special techniques involved in clock case construction, restoration and conservation. It demonstrates how a new clock case can be constructed, provides a clock case restoration study and describes the restoration of a number of other wooden clock cases. Covering both stone and metal clock cases of the 19th and 20th centuries and including a useful appendix which provides guidelines for restoring and conserving horological objects, this is an essential resource for all those who wish to work on clock cases and restore them in the correct way - whether amateurs or professionals. Beautifully illustrated with 500 colour photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reissuing five works originally published between 1937 and 1991, this collection contains books addressing the subject of time, from a mostly philosophic point of view but also of interest to those in the science and mathematics worlds. These texts are brought back into print in this small set of works addressing how we think about time, the history of the philosophy of time, the measurement of time, theories of relativity and discussions of the wider thinking about time and space, among other aspects. One volume is a thorough bibliography collating references on the subject of time across many disciplines.
