I'm surprised that mine is the first and only review. My son and myself will never look at a clock the same way after reading this book.

How the number 60 was chosen because it was easily divisible by 2,3,4-how candle clocks worked, with a different scent used for each hour, so one could 'smell' time-how there was a year during Julius Cesar's era known as the year of 'confusion' because days were being lost and gained due to miscalculations, how a man had to climb 250 steps to reach up and wind the Big Ben twice a week-all very fascinating and enlightening, and a great reminder of how we take today's world for granted. The Romans, Greeks, Iraqis, Swiss all contributed to the progress of time. My son learned things from this very well-written non-fictional book, but it was a true eye-opener for me as well. I picked it from the library, since the evolution of time and it's calibration and recording has always seemed fascinating to me.
