paperback. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Condition: As New. : En este libro, Alan Burdick nos lleva en una búsqueda personal para entender cómo y por qué percibimos el tiempo de la manera en que lo hacemos. Visita el reloj más preciso del mundo (que solo existe en papel), descubre que el 'ahora' en realidad sucedió hace una fracción de segundo, encuentra una hora veinticinco en el día, vive en el Ártico para perder todo sentido del tiempo e, incluso, por un instante fugaz en el laboratorio de un neurocientífico, hace retroceder el tiempo. 'Why Time Flies' es un examen vívido e íntimo de los relojes que laten dentro de todos nosotros.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A witty, surprising, often moving and always insightful work of scientific writing that will ensure you never look at a clock the same way again.For more than two thousand years the world's great minds have argued about the true essence of time. Is it finite or infinite? Is it continuous or discrete? Does it flow like a river or is it granular, proceeding in small bits like sand trickling through an hourglass? And most immediately, what is the present?What is time, exactly? Why does it seem to slow down when we're bored and speed by as we get older? How and why does time fly?In this witty and meditative exploration, Alan Burdick takes readers on a personal quest to understand how and why we perceive time the way we do. He visits the most accurate clock in the world (which exists only on paper); discovers that 'now' actually happened a split-second ago; finds a twenty-fifth hour in the day; lives in the Arctic to lose all sense of time; and, for one fleeting moment in a neuroscientist's lab, even makes time go backwards. Why Time Flies is a vivid and intimate examination of the clocks that tick inside us all. Are we born into time, or is time born into us? Alan Burdick takes readers on a quest to understand the clocks that tick inside us all - what time is and how we perceive it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
