Hi Sara, These news about your forthcoming books sound fascinating!
By the way, JHA (vols. 1-39, 1970-2008) is available online at ADS, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/journals_service.html when volume/page is known, http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html for author/title etc. searches. Your article is at http://articles.adsabs.harvard.edu/full/2001JHA....32..189S The following lengthy link yields a list of articles and reviews with the title word "sundials" in JHA: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/nph-abs_connect?db_key=AST&db_key=PRE&qform=AST&arxiv_sel=astro-ph&arxiv_sel=cond-mat&arxiv_sel=cs&arxiv_sel=gr-qc&arxiv_sel=hep-ex&arxiv_sel=hep-lat&arxiv_sel=hep-ph&arxiv_sel=hep-th&arxiv_sel=math&arxiv_sel=math-ph&arxiv_sel=nlin&arxiv_sel=nucl-ex&arxiv_sel=nucl-th&arxiv_sel=physics&arxiv_sel=quant-ph&arxiv_sel=q-bio&sim_query=YES&ned_query=YES&adsobj_query=YES&aut_logic=OR&obj_logic=OR&author=&object=&start_mon=&start_year=&end_mon=&end_year=&ttl_logic=OR&title=sundials&txt_logic=OR&text=&nr_to_return=200&start_nr=1&jou_pick=ALL&ref_stems=jha..&data_and=ALL&group_and=ALL&start_entry_day=&start_entry_mon=&start_entry_year=&end_entry_day=&end_entry_mon=&end_entry_year=&min_score=&sort=SCORE&data_type=SHORT&aut_syn=YES&ttl_syn=YES&txt_syn=YES&aut_wt=1.0&obj_wt=1.0&ttl_wt=0.3&txt_wt=3.0&aut_wgt=YES&obj_wgt=YES&ttl_wgt=YES&txt_wgt=YES&ttl_sco=YES&txt_sco=YES&version=1 I created this link by typing in "sundials" in the Title Words box and "jha.." as journal in the FILTERS section in the "Select/deselect publications" box. But I doubt that that this link will come trough correctly with this email message. Best, Wolfgang -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Sat, 20 Nov 2010 09:59:34 -0500 Von: "Schechner, Sara" <sche...@fas.harvard.edu> An: Sundial List <sund...@rrz.uni-koeln.de> Betreff: SUNDIAL life before AND WITH clocks I am addressing many of these questions in an interpretive catalogue of several hundred sundials and timefinding instruments at the Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum in Chicago (to be published in two volumes), and in a separate book, Sundials, Science, and Social Change (appearing later). A summary of the main points can be found in this article: "The Material Culture of Astronomy in Daily Life: Sundials, Science, and Social Change," Journal for the History of Astronomy 32 (2001): 189-222. I find that someone has scanned and posted it here: http://www.antique-horology.org/_Editorial/schechner.pdf Cheers, Sara Sara J. Schechner, Ph.D. David P.
