I would like to draw your attention to an online book that I have written. It’s called “Under time’s spell”, and accompanies an exhibition (currently showing in Ghent – until 25 March) of which I am the curator. The exhibition and book tell the story behind the measurement of time from the late Middle Ages until the nineteenth century.
The book can be read online in English, French and Dutch: http://www.indebanvandetijd.be/
I would be grateful if you could also bring it to the attention of people who might be interested.
