Book excerpt: Over 300 clocks, for buildings or tabletops, which do far more than tell time, are presented with concise historical explanations, detailed drawings, and clear color photography. 700 years of clocks are studied, clocks that display magical acts, appear to require no power to drive them, or have no apparent connection between the movement and the hands. These mystery clocks are fascinating mechanisms.
