Time has to be one of the most entertaining reads of the year. Alexander
Waugh’s exploration of our relationship with time is riveting, witty and
accurate— all the way from his portrayal of how ancient civilisations
dealt with time, right up to his joyful exposition of the truth-telling
paradoxes of Albert Einstein’s treatment of time. Very nicely conceived.
