Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. We all know that time is the template with which we define our lives. We also know it is on our side, is up, and flies, especially when we're having fun. There are bath time and bedtime, good times and bad, an entire biblical catalogue from the book of Ecclesiastes. But what is it? Where did time come from and where does it go? The answer is as slippery as silverfish; it has eluded history's most magnificent minds. Langone invites the reader into the inquiry. We see our earliest ancestors observe the movement of herds, the shifting sky, and the cycles of budding and bloom. We marvel in the dark at Stonehenge and at a path of solstice sun inching over a Native American calendar glyph. This traces the story of humanity's struggle to come to terms with the concept of time. / This is a 1st edition hardback with laminated boards in fine condition. (256 pages). This is a heavy book nearly 1.5kg, so there will be an extra postage charge. Codice articolo 7614
