The Mystery of Time : We all know that time is the template with
which we define our lives. We also know it is on our side, is
up, and flies, especially when we're having fun. There are bath
time and bedtime, good times and bad, an entire biblical
catalogue from the book of Ecclesiastes. But what is it? Where
did time come from and where does it go? With more than 200
colorful and instructive illustrations and fact boxes, in
language that is lively and accessible, The Mystery of Time
traces the story of humanity's struggle to come to terms with
the concept of time: to measure it, to use it, to standardize
it, to beat it, and finally to understand it.
