Anthony’s Reviews > The Mastery of Time: A History of Timekeeping, from the Sundial to the Wristwatch: Discoveries, Inventions, and Advances in Master Watchmaking > Status Update

This book, while beautifully presented, reads like a series of freshman term papers which rely on a thesaurus and a fair amount of topical jargon to hide the fact that the writer's enthusiasm has far outpaced his understanding. Einstein once said, "If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." If I hadn't already a dozen books on horology and watchmaking, I'd be lost.
