4-0 out of 5 stars Good textbook.
The chapters are a reasonable length. The text is well written and has a definate voice. If you are a student this is a nicer size to carry than an enourmous biology book. The only annoying aspect is the first page of every chapter has the text alligned to the right. I loose my place for a few sentences. This is very minor though.

5-0 out of 5 stars The ultimate on Preservation
Dr. Murtagh is probably the top expert in the field of Preservation and he has written this very readable book for all interested in the subject.He has received high honors for his work and is
known worldwide as the authority.

5-0 out of 5 stars Invaluable history of preservation
An outstanding summary of historic preservation. This was a required text for the online course I took, but it is very readable for the average person. A must-read for those interested in old buildings and their relevance today.

Product Description
Clocks connect us to our universe. From the upright stick whose shadow traced the hours to the pendulums that imitated Galileo s swaying chandelier, the tools used early on to slice up the day measured the motion of Earth. More recently the task of measuring time has been assigned to atoms: the newest generation of atomic clocks is accurate to within one second in eighty million years.

The 48 cards in this deck examine some of the challenges involved in modern timekeeping, from creating wristwatches to coordinating clocks around the world. And a few glances are cast at the past, with cards devoted to ancient calendars and clocks made of incense and dripping water.

These 48 fact-filled Knowledge Cards are a great source of condensed information all in a deck the size of a pack of playing cards. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
Focusing on the period from 1820 to 1920, Keeping Watch details the far-reaching changes in American society brought about by the transition from natural to mechanical sources of time - from farmers' almanacs and religious formulations of time to regional time zones, synchronized watches, and factory punch clocks. Michael O'Malley shows how the pressures of industrialization, the emergence of the telegraph, and the spread of railroads led to a demand for uniform, consistent schedules. Chronicling particular communities' resistance to standard time and, later, daylight saving time, Keeping Watch also examines the cut-and-paste manipulation of "real time" in motion pictures. The cumulative impact of these technological changes, O'Malley argues, was momentous, creating a harsher ethic of punctuality and an unprecedented degree of labor regimentation. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars well-written and easy to read
We used this book in our graduate seminar on jazz.It was so interesting that even before class started I had finished reading the book.Many topics are discussed (roots of jazz, definitions of jazz, hip vs square, future of jazz), many important historical articles are reprinted, many major musicians are interviewed and quoted, and each writing is preceded by a clear explanation by the author of the issues discussed.The selction of topics, the breadth of knowledge given, and the flow of the book, are what make it great.

5-0 out of 5 stars A great book for the true jazz lover
While a student in Professor Walser's Jazz class at UCLA, I was one of several students lucky enough to have read every chapter before itmade it to press.Every chapter was like a time machine, transporting us back in time to an era where racism and sexism took a toll on some musicians while only strengthening the resolve of others.This book was, at the time, one of the best readings I had done in a long time.In reading direct quotes from the greats of music, you couldn't help but feel a bit inspired."Keeping in Time" is a gem and should be assigned reading to anyone studying jazz or just wanting to learn more about the many performers who played or sang that one song you liked differently.Professor Walser certainly knows his subject matter well.And in my case, he certainly excelled in the one thing he likes to do: teach.

4-0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Supplement
An excellent supplement to narrative or recorded jazz histories.Organized chronologically, the collection of readings is quite easy to read and offers a variety of viewpoints (musicians, interviews, critical essays,reviews, etc.) that highlight major attitudes and trends in jazz history. Walser begins each article with a brief but excellent introduction thatlocates each reading historically and elucidates the important criticalquestions that the reading poses, all without ever sounding preachy.(Ionly give 4 stars simply because it's a collection of older writings; forwhat it is, it's great.) ...
