Sinossi

"Clock Facts" explores the captivating story of timekeeping, tracing its evolution from ancient sundials and water clocks to the atomic clocks that underpin modern technology. The book highlights how the quest for more accurate time measurement has driven scientific and technological progress, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of physics and enabling global communication.

 
Did you know that early timekeeping devices like obelisks and sundials, while rudimentary, were crucial for agricultural planning and religious observances in ancient civilizations? The book progresses chronologically, starting with the earliest methods and moving through mechanical and quartz clocks before delving into the intricacies of atomic timekeeping.

 
The book further examines the profound impact of standardized time on society, influencing everything from trade and communication to the organization of daily life. The development of mechanical clocks in the medieval era, for example, revolutionized urban life by introducing a more structured and synchronized schedule.

 
"Clock Facts" uniquely connects the evolution of timekeeping technology to broader cultural and scientific shifts, revealing how our perception and measurement of time have profoundly shaped our world. The book emphasizes factual accuracy and historical context, making complex concepts accessible to a broad audience interested in science and history.

    After the fire is not the end of the incident… it is the beginning of the real test. 
     When the flames die out and the teams leave the scene, a silent struggle begins inside minds and hearts—unanswered questions, decisions reweighed, and memories searching for meaning. In this phase, leadership reveals its true nature—not through what was done during the fire, but through how the aftermath is managed. Here, the human element is protected, the experience is reframed, and the harsh moment becomes either an open wound… or a lesson that forges a stronger leader and a more resilient team.

    Your Heart Is the Size of Your Fist draws readers into the complicated, poignant, and often-overlooked daily happenings of a busy urban medical clinic for refugees.
    		 
    An Iraqi journalist whose son has been been murdered develops post-traumatic stress disorder and mourns his loss of vocation. A Congolese woman refuses antiretroviral treatment for her new HIV diagnosis, and instead places her trust in Jesus. Two conservative Muslim Iraqi women are inadvertently exposed to pornography when a doctor uses Google Images to supplement a medical discussion. By turns humorous, distressing, and moving, these stories offer insight into the people seeking a new life while navigating poverty, language barriers, and neighbours who aren’t always friendly.
    		 
    This riveting collection of true stories from Dr. Martina Scholtens is filled with hope and humour, and together make up a deeply moving portrait of how one doctor attempts to provide quality care and advocacy for patients while remaining culturally sensitive, even as she wrestles with guilt, awareness of her own privilege, the faith she was raised with, and vicarious trauma after hearing countless stories of brutality and suffering.
    		 
    In the spirit of Louise Aronson and Atul Gawande, Scholtens’ writing is based on her personal experiences and explores the transformative moments in which a clinical doctor-patient relationship becomes a profound human-human connection.
