Reviews
'It will certainly replace earlier books as the standard text in this long-established field.' The Observatory
'In this book the sources are comprehensively and lucidly discussed. For serious geophysicists the book is necessary reading. For the rest of us the sheer breadth and depth of research into ancient sources for practical modern purposes must surely be an inspiration.' Clockmakers's Times
'The comprehensive nature of the work makes it an excellent reference.' D. E. Hogg, Choice
'[The author] is to be commended for this work of careful synthesis'. Henry Innes MacAdam, IBS
