About this title

Synopsis

Outstanding scientific instruments illustrate the broad application of mathematics and mechanics in all fields of human endeavor. Although these instruments helped measure and survey the heavens and earth, they also helped to create an aura of gloomy mystery that gave power and influence to the ruling families and their adepts. Finely engraved celestial globes and elaborate automata illuminate the ruling families' thirst for knowledge and efforts to fashion the way the world saw them. In short: these instruments represent the power of geometry and the geometry of power.
