HarperCollins Publishers 2013; Not AvailableThe full story of man?s attempt to discover the moment that time began, from James Ussher?s confident assertion in 1650 that the world was 5,654 years old to the Hubble Space telescope?s images of a world 13 billion years old, with a starry cast of eccentrics, mystics, scientists and visonaries. more...

A Question of Time
Scientific American 2012; US$ 3.99?What time is it?? That simple question is probably asked more often in contemporary society than ever before.
