It's About Time

by Liz Evers

Overview

From the instant our alarm wakes us in the morning, through the humdrum of office hours, to the moment we turn out the light, time directs our daily lives. And we need only look to the Sun’s rise and the changing seasons to know that it governs our very existence.
It's About Time is full of thought-provoking information on the practice of timekeeping – its origins, advances, and impact – as well as time-related trivia from early man to the modern day. If you’ve ever wondered where GMT came from, how the Gregorian calendar was formed, or how many locksmiths it takes to build an atomic clock, it’s about time you looked inside.
