Details:
There are so many ways humans think of time every day! There's lunchtime, snack time, bedtime, and we talk about saving time, killing time, keeping time, buying time and racing against time.
Our early ancestors measured time by observing the sun and moon, and today, thanks to technology, we can know the exact time every second of the day. But time is about more than numbers. It's connected to feelings and memories, and our experiences can make time feel like it's moving too quickly or passing very, very slowly.
Just a Minute delves into the past, present and future of humans' experience of time and how we track, use and try to manipulate it. Learn how the master timekeepers in our brains work, explore how animals and plants tell time and discover how our perception of time changes with what we're doing and as we age. We can't control time, but we can make every second count!
The epub edition of this title is fully accessible.
