Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a series of documents concerning a proposal to unify time-keeping methods to an international standard. The proposal sought to implement 'Standard Time,' a system of time zones based on hour meridians. Already in use across North America, the time zone system complem…ented the 24-hour 'universal day' to create a method for global timekeeping. Given at the 1884 Washington International Conference, the measure was a result of efforts by scientists, civic leaders, and international delegates collaborating to end confusion caused by multiple local times and the lack of a widely accepted standard for railway and telegraph timetables. In examining the ways this proposal was presented to political leaders, this book brings to light the challenges and benefits of international standardization. The debate over this resolution not only highlights the ideological differences and practical considerations in implementing a unified global timekeeping system but also gives insight into similar standardization efforts in a variety of disciplines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
