What Is Time?: The Classic Account Of The Nature Of Time

Professor Whitrow takes us on a good-humoured tour of the thing that clocks keep (more or less). He discusses how our ideas of time originated; how far they are inborn in plants and animals; how time has been measured, from sundial and hourglass to the caesium clock, and whether time possesses a beginning, a direction, and an end.
