Concerned with the very subject that gives the Millennium its meaning-time--"The Story of Time" is one of the most important, high-profile books published to mark this momentous occasion. Multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural in its subject matter and approach, and all encompassing in its scope, the book features an outstanding international cast of authors, including Umberto Eco and Sir Ernst Gombrich-every one a world-renowned expert from the fields of science, art, history, philosophy and culture.
Challenging yet accessible, "The Story of Time" is lavishly illustrated in color, depicting over 250 important and famous artifacts, from Ancient Egyptian calendars and medieval scenes of The Apocalypse to the distorted clock paintings of Dali and recent photographs of the universe taken from the Hubble telescope.

"The images in the book make a powerful artistic, rather than scientific, impression."

Carole Stott, New Scientist, 12/25/1999
