What is Time? by G. J. Whitrow PDF Summary

Book Description: In this engaging volume, Professor G. J. Whitrow (1912-2000) takes us on a good-humored and wide-ranging tour of the thing that clocks keep (more or less). He discusses how our ideas of time originated, and coaxes the layment to contemplate with pleasure the differences between cyclic, linear, biological, cosmic, and space-time, while providing frequent diversions into fascinating topics such as the Mayan calendar, the migration of birds, and the dances of bees. This reissue of the classic and authoritative What is Time? includes a new introduction by Dr J. T. Fraser, founder of the International Society for the Study of Time, and a bibliographic essay by Dr Fraser and Professor M. P. Soulsby of the Pennsylvania State University.
