Book Details
Table of Contents
Stars, seconds, cylinders, and steam
Extremely flat and incredibly close
A gun in every home, a clock in every cabin
On the verge of a more perfect world
The irresistible lure of the highway
Precision and peril, six miles high
Through a looking glass, distinctly
Where am I, and what is the time?
Squeezing beyond boundaries
On the necessity for equipoise
the measure of all things.
Edition Notes
