About the Author
Andreas Volwahsen wrote his PhD on Jai Singh's observatories and in doing so prepared the first complete survey of all the instruments. He recently returned to the topic in order to present Jai Singh's architecture as an outstanding example of man's continuing effort to understand and represent the rules of the universe.
