From Stonehenge to atomic clocks, here is the 5,000 year history of how science is used to mark time. Chad Orzel, the internationally bestselling author of How to Teach Quantum Physics to Your Dog, offers us a witty  journey through scientific theory and quirky historical detail to reveal the wondrous physics that makes time something we can set, measure and know. He’ll also consider the future of timekeeping, and how the physicists and astronomers of today continue to try to find new ways of measuring tomorrow, constantly redefining our own deep rooted preoccupation with time.
