More about the book

The book delves into the historical relationship between time and place, highlighting how local timekeeping was once dictated by natural phenomena before the advent of Standard Time zones in 1883. The expansion of railroads and communication technologies like the telegraph transformed communities, linking them through a universal time system. Howard Mansfield examines the profound impact of these changes on our understanding of time and place, illustrating how interconnectedness reshaped societal norms and perceptions.
