Time also flies. Tomorrow is another day. Yet there's no time like the present. We want to do more in less time, but wish we could slow the clock. And despite all our time-saving devices--iPhones, DVRs, high-speed trains--Americans feel that they have less leisure time than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an era when our time feels fractured and imperiled, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Times\u003c\/em\u003e encourages readers to ponder time used and time spent. How long does it take to find a new mate, digest a hamburger, or compose a symphony? How much time do we spend daydreaming, texting, and getting ready for work? The book challenges our beliefs and urges us to consider how, and why, some things get faster, some things slow down, and some things never change (the need for seven to eight hours of sleep).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked with compelling charts, lists, and quizzes, as well as new and intriguing research, \u003cem\u003eThe Book of Times\u003c\/em\u003e is an addictive, browsable, and provocative look at the idea of time from every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 368\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.88 x 8.21 x 5.39 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 17, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52736985628979,"sku":"9780062074188","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/fXLWNEhFcZ9780062074188.webp?v=1764021587","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-book-of-times-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
