From Publishers Weekly

Just in time for the new millennium comes this enormous, amply illustrated compilation of 23 essays on aspects of time from experts in various disciplines, among them history and historiography, music, geology, literary criticism, anthropology, religion and the history of engineering. The venerated art historian E.H. Gombrich contributes a compact "History of Anniversaries," from the so-called "jubilee" of the Hebrew Bible through a famous 1769 "Shakespeare Jubilee" and on to our present glut of commemorations. John MacDonald's intriguing "Inuit Time" explains how traditional cultures of the North American Arctic taught their children to wake up early in the morning, and how newly Christian tribal communities (who had to know which day was the Sabbath) grappled with the alien concept of weeks. Lorne Campbell describes some temporal problems of portraiture, as when a slow-working painter finds that her subject's appearance has changed over multiple sittings. Jonathan Betts outlines "The Growth of Modern Timekeeping: From Pendulums to Atoms." And Umberto Eco zips from St. Augustine to the modern philosophy of language to the Millennium Bug in a typically provocative foreword. Three hundred color pictures and photos, many with long explanatory blurbs, portray such time-related items as Renaissance sundials and klepsydras (water-clocks), the Hindu god Vishnu (creator and destroyer of world and time) and a bizarre French clock from 1795, which indicated not only 60-minute hours and 24-hour days, but also the short-lived revolutionary system of decimal time, whose 10 hours a day had 100 minutes each. The entire enjoyable and visually impressive volume is timed to coincide with an exhibit at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich, England, where the year 2000 will officially begin. (Oct.)

From Library Journal

Prepared in conjunction with an international exhibition sponsored by the Royal Observatory at Greenwich and the National Maritime Museum, this handsome and informative volume is filled with dozens of enticing perspectives on the subject of time--certainly an appropriate topic at a time of millennial madness. Essays by Eco, John MacDonald, Anthony Aveni, Ken Arnold, E.H. Gombrich, and others are organized into categories that focus on the creation, measurement, depiction, experience, and end of time. Within each section, there is much to learn about the impact of time on almost every aspect of existence--from calendars and timepieces, to major civilizations and their rituals, to art, music, science, and prophecy. In addition to many perspectives on our relationship to time, there is also a rich education in history, philosophy, and world culture here. The captions that accompany the many superb color photos and art reproductions are particularly informative. Essential for academic and humanities collections.

“时间”是人类的永恒问题。“时间究竟是什么?没有人问我,我倒清楚,有人问我,我想说明时,便茫然不解了。”中世纪哲学家奥古斯汀如是谓叹。我们生活在时间中,每天看表计时,赶时间、控制时间、好像永远没时间,可是偶尔又需要消磨时间、混时间、甚至杀时间,时间似乎再具...

小心取下护封,似如那黑天鹅绒般的丝绒封面初显在眼前!在实体书店打过书钉的手感极佳。全书内容绝对好啊!——强烈推荐!! 按照评价书籍好坏的标准之一,一般是著者人数越少,书籍品质越好,二者有着天然的相关性,不过这规律在这本书上完全失效。这么厚一册类...

《时间的故事》是一部规模较大图文作品集。其英文原版的出版,配合了在格林威治之英国国立海事博物馆和英国皇家天文台共同举办的一个以时间为主题的展览兼新千年庆祝活动。英国人曾经的海上霸权与精确计时密不可分,而格林威治子午线在1884年成为世界本初子午线,则是这一霸权...
