Review
Excellent graphics, photos, and captivating information keep the readers interest throughout [and] will encourage readers to question and investigate further.--Elizabeth Hayward"National Science Teachers Association" (07/25/2012)
Fun and filled with splendid pictures.--C. A. Amantea"RALPH" (08/01/2013)
Designed for the general reader and replete with illustrations (some pages are almost entirely taken up by visuals), the book tackles the concept of time from a variety of perspectives... Glossy and slickly done--but without succumbing to superficiality--the book should appeal to readers who are approaching time as a big idea for the first time.-- (12/15/2011)
Adam Hart-Davis has written an enthusiastic, accurate, nonmathematical discussion of time, intended for a general audience... An abundance of colorful illustrations support the text, aiding in the understanding of some of the more complex topics. Hart-Davis provides clear and accurate discussions of why humans needed to understand the progression of the seasons, why accurate clocks were critical to navigation on the world's oceans, and why the development of railroads required the standardization of time along the route... The Book of Time is a valuable reference that covers such a diversity of topics that interested readers are likely to be inspired to explore some of them in more detail.-- (01/01/2013)
