The
Society produces a quarterly journal in both print and digital formats.
The digital is in PDF format. The content of the print and digital
editions is essentially the same, but the digital edition may include
programs and other features of interest to computer users.
The
ShadowCatchers Collection is
back in print... and growing ! Furthering its commitment to the
preservation of dialing knowledge and lore, in 2001 The North American
Sundial Society began its sponsorship of The ShadowCatchers Collection
- a series of reprints of rare works on dialing.
Each
title in the collection reproduced a centuries-old dialing text not
readily available elsewhere. And originally each title was available
only for a limited time as a hardbound printed book.
Now
the entire collection is once again available - now in economical
softbound (perfect binding) printed volumes (and, of course, still
available on CD).
AND...
we have added an eighth title to the collection:
Jacques
Ozanam - A Treatise of Gnomonicks (1712)
This
CD presents the full text and graphics of nearly 400 patents related to
sundials. The patents are from the U.S., England, France, Russia,
Japan, Germany, and other countries. They range from the brilliant to
the mundane, and from successfully implemented products to those that
never quite saw the light of day.
Analemmas How
to build dials with the method in use in the epoch of the ancient
Greeks and Romans
By
Alessandro Gunella
This
text provides a modern treatment of an ancient subject. It is the work
of one of the leading Italian proponents of the graphical method in
dialing, and it fills a significant hole in the literature of
gnomonics, representing a full treatment of classical dials as derived
from the analemma.
