From Stonehenge to atomic clocks, here is
the 5,000-year history of how science is used
to mark time. Chad Orzel, the internationally
bestselling author of How to Teach Quantum
Physics to Your Dog, offers us a witty
journey through scientific theory and quirky
historical detail to reveal the wondrous
physics that makes time something we can
set, measure and know. He’ll also consider the
future of timekeeping, and how the physicists
and astronomers of today continue to try
to find new ways of measuring tomorrow,
constantly redefining our own deep-rooted
preoccupation with time.
