A very nice unread copy. In modern times we rely without thinking on accurate technology to tell the time. But the quest for a reliable method took many centuries and involved some fascinating and heroic leaps of science. In this accessible and colorful book, an international team of scientists, philosophers, and historians explain the many different approaches to understanding time throughout the world. Illustrated throughout.
