More than a decade after the publication of his dazzling book on
the cultural, technological, and manufacturing aspects of measuring
time and making clocks, David Landes has significantly expanded
"Revolution in Time," In a new preface and scores of updated
passages, he explores new findings about medieval and early-modern
time keeping, as well as contemporary hi-tech uses of the watch as
mini-computer, cellular phone, and even radio receiver or
television screen. While commenting on the latest research, Landes
never loses his focus on the historical meaning of time and its
many perceptions and uses, questions that go beyond history, that
involve philosophers and possibly, theologians and literary folk as
well.
