| Summary/Abstract |
In his newest book, "The Mystery of Time," award-winning author John 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. We stand next to the magnificent water clock of the Chinese inventor Su Sung, and we rock on the deck of an English ship to check on the first shipboard clock reliable enough for determining accurate longitude. We search for clues to what governs our circadian rhythms and contemplate the backward flow of subatomic time.
From the imaginative designs of Galileo to the soaring discoveries of Einstein, we go on to the latest debates and into the farthest reaches of modern thought on the nature of time. Along the way, me meet Julius Caesar, Ptolemy, Newton, and Stephen Hawking -- plus dozens of others whose study and struggle, feuding and folly, have played a part in the story.
