Sinossi

Time Concepts explores humanity's enduring quest to measure and understand time, examining how clocks and calendars have shaped societies and cultures. From ancient sundials to modern atomic clocks, the book traces the evolution of timekeeping devices, revealing their impact on everything from agriculture to astronomy. Calendars, like the Gregorian and Julian, reflect diverse cultural and astronomical understandings, each system designed to organize human activity within the rhythms of the natural world. The book uniquely integrates historical, cultural, and scientific perspectives, presenting a holistic view of time rather than solely focusing on technical details. Time Concepts delves into the scientific underpinnings of time, touching on concepts like relativity and the "arrow of time," demonstrating how physics informs our understanding. By examining archaeological findings, historical documents, and astronomical records, the book reveals how our measurement of time is intertwined with cultural, scientific, and societal evolution. Structured to provide a comprehensive exploration, the book begins with foundational concepts, progresses through the development of timekeeping technologies, analyzes various calendar systems, and culminates with a discussion of time within the framework of physics. Readers will gain a deeper appreciation for how time measurement, time zones, and the very concept of time have profoundly influenced human civilization.

    Television and TV viewing are not what they once were—and that’s a good thing, according to award-winning author and critic Clive James. Since serving as television columnist for the London Observer from 1972 to 1982, James has witnessed a radical change in content, format, and programming and in the very manner in which television is watched. Here he examines this unique cultural revolution, providing a brilliant, eminently entertaining analysis of many of the medium’s most notable twenty-first-century accomplishments and their not-always-subtle impact on modern society—including such acclaimed serial dramas as Breaking Bad, The West Wing, Mad Men, and The Sopranos, as well as the comedy 30 Rock. 
    With intelligence and wit, James explores a television landscape expanded by cable and broadband and profoundly altered by the advent of Netflix, Amazon, and other “cord-cutting” platforms that have helped to usher in a golden age of unabashed binge-watching.

    'Fascinating and lyrical . . . A beautifully written celebration of a lifelong passion' – Stephen Venables
    The relationship of people with hills and mountains has been complex, rich and varied – from awe and wonder to fear and loathing, from spiritual longing to peaceful acceptance.
    As he explores our high places, Ian Crofton conjures up those who have been there before: Neolithic axe-makers, mass trespassers, shepherds, quarrymen, botanists, poets and pioneering cragsmen and women among them. At the same time, he is ever attuned to the present moment – a flash of bright moss in a bog, the swoop of an eagle above a skyline, a winter sun sinking into a sea of cloud.
    Following an arc from the gentle Downs of southern England to the wild peaks of Scotland's far north, Upland combines personal experiences with a keen curiosity about the history and nature of mountain landscapes, and the people who once worked and wandered among them. The result is a meditation on the enduring yet ever-changing hills, on the transience of human experience, and on the shifts and twists of time itself.
