Praise for About Time
"Abundantly clever...[L]ovely and engaging...with myriad fascinations on every page."
- Simon Winchester, New York Times Book Review
"Fascinating...A valuable intellectual journey at a moment ripe for contemplation."
- Michael O'Donnell, Wall Street Journal
"Insightful, globe-spanning."
- James Gleick, New York Review of Books
"People say time is money, but David Rooney knows better. In this information-packed swoop through history and into the future, he exposes time's many identities along with the hidden agendas of clocks. Time is knowledge. Time is power. Time is faith. Time is destiny."
- Dava Sobel, author of Longitude
"Not merely an horologist's delight, but an ingenious meditation on the nature and symbolism of time-keeping itself...I will never hear the pips, or ask 'what's the time?' in quite the same way again. A striking success."
- Richard Holmes, author of The Age of Wonder
