Summary:
Timepieces have accompanied human society from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest; the ice of the Arctic to the surface of the moon. Struthers provides a history of watchmaking, describing our earliest attempts at timekeeping and the ways in which it has shaped our attitudes to work, leisure, trade, politic, exploration, and mortality. -- adapted from jacket
