Details
- Time measures sleeping, working, resting, study, leisure, industry, meeting, celebration, meditation, worship and travel; it measures our birth, life and death and it regulates simple actions and complex processes.
- As we move quickly to 'save' time and 'make' time, we can pause to look back at how time has been designed. Time is communicated through outputting devices which we call clocks and watches: timepieces.
- The story of time is the story of us. For thousands of years, we have used time and clocks – broadly defined – to make sense of our world, to create order, and to control the myriad activities of everyday life.
- Clocks have in many ways become our avatars: we express our own identities with and through clocks, particularly those in prominent public view.
- In this thoughtful, absorbing volume, David Lawrence offers an insightful vision of the significance of clocks and time in the railway story and, more broadly, to modern culture.
- Hardback, 108 pages, 23 x 29 cm
