Excuse me if this is not news to many of you, but in case someone doesn't know,
this monograph is also available in print from Dover:

http://www.amazon.com/Sundials-Atomic-Clocks-Understanding-Frequency/dp/0486409139

(it says in the book that it is a printing of the 1999 version of the monograph)

I enjoyed the read. :)

Cheers
