Description
Barbara Adam's exploration of time offers a fresh perspective on how our understanding of this concept has evolved over history. From ancient mythology to contemporary social relations, she examines the ways in which time has been conceptualized and embedded in cultural practices.
This book provides an accessible introduction to the role of time in modern society, covering topics such as high-speed computer networks and globalized social relations. Adam's transdisciplinary approach makes this a useful resource for students and teachers across the social sciences.
