A history of timekeeping and how it has shaped our world.
What The Reviewers Say
... abundantly clever.
... fascinating.
It’s to Rooney’s credit that although he clearly knows a colossal amount about clocks, he wears his learning very lightly.
... provides a fascinating look at timekeeping devices throughout history and the societal roles they’ve filled.
