Overview

The concept of time is relative and flexible, says celebrated scholar Robert Levine. He points out that a culture's sense of time has profound consequences for an individual's psychological, physical and emotional well-being. Traveling around the globe, in both past and present times, Levine describes "clock time" in opposition to both "nature time" -- the rhythm of the sun and the seasons -- and "event time" -- the structuring of time around happenings. He argues that by learning to embrace these three different perceptions of time, by developing a "multitemporal" approach, one can enjoy a more flexible and rewarding life. Written in a charming and graceful prose style and filled with lively anecdotes, A Geography of Time is one of those rare books that compels readers to re-evaluate their perspective on everyday life.
