"A pathbreaking book on an important subject which, surprisingly,
has been paid little attention by social scientists. Zerubavel
writes with both learning and lucidity. His book is a pleasure to
read." (Peter Berger). "Others have written about the structuring
of time, but few so insightfully and compellingly as Zerubavel."
(Neil J. Smelser). "This is a jewel of a book, one of the most
important contributions to cultural sociology in recent years.
Professor Zerubavel's easy blend of history, religion, science,
politics, and social values makes this a study a delightful voyage
of unexpected discovery and new awareness. It hink the title has
misled some people into thinking this is a book on music or
something of the sort. All the more reason to rejoice at this
reissue in paperback." (David S. Landes). "Hidden Rhythms is an
exciting study of a subject that has net yet gained the attention
it deserves among sociologists and other social scientists
...Zerubavel's book has the distinctive merit to discuss earlier
approaches to the study of schedules and calendars and to add a
series of extremely shrewd observations and calendars to add a
series of extremely shrewd observations of his own on the sociology
of time. His work seems indispensable for all those social
scientists who have become conscious of the central position of the
temporal dimension in the life of people and their society." (Lewis
A. Coser). "Eviatar Zerubavel's Hidden Rhythms is an original and
highly imaginative analysis of the role time schedule plays in
social life. Continuing the distinctive focus on social time
Zerubavel develops in Patterns of Time in Hospital life, he
provides in Hidden Rhythms more penetrating and profound analysis
of the subtle and diverse significance of time in organizing our
social relationships and lives. A joy to read." (Peter M. Blau).
