I have completed a book entitled "Sundial Design". It is based on the application of matrix methods to calculating hour and date lines, shadow casting object characteristics, and sundial operating time limits for a number of planar sundial types.
Chapter titles are:
1. Introduction
2.The Sun
3.The Shadow
4. Design Methods
5. The General Planar Sundial
6. Sundial Operating Limits
7.Reclining Sundials
8. Declining Sundials
9. Azimuthal and Altitude Sundials
10. Interactive Sundials
11. Sundial Time
An appendix contains an annotated bibliography. There are about 160 pages, half text and half sundial layouts, graphs and other figures.
I have a small number of copies, printed at my local copy store. The cost is $20. within the United States, plus $2 shipping and handling. Mailing to other parts of the globe will be determined on request. Payment should be in $US.
