520    Predating written language and marching on through human 
       history, the desire for ever-better timekeeping has 
       spurred technological innovation and sparked theories that
       radically reshaped our understanding of the universe and 
       our place in it. Chad Orzel, a physicist and bestselling 
       author, continues his tradition of demystifying thorny 
       scientific concepts by using the clocks and calendars 
       central to our everyday activities as a jumping-off point 
       to explore the science underlying the ways we keep track 
       of our time. Ancient solstice markers depend on the basic 
       astrophysics of our solar system; mechanical clocks owe 
       their development to Newtonian physics; and the ultra-
       precise atomic timekeeping that enables GPS hinges on the 
       predictable oddities of quantum mechanics.  Along the way,
       Orzel visits the delicate negotiations involved in 
       Gregorian calendar reform, the intricate and entirely 
       unique system employed by the Maya, and how the problem of
       synchronizing clocks at different locations ultimately 
       required us to abandon the idea of time as an absolute and
       universal quantity. Sharp and engaging, A Brief History of
       Timekeeping is a story not just about the science of 
       sundials, sandglasses, and mechanical clocks, but also the
       politics of calendars and time zones, the philosophy of 
       measurement, and the nature of space and time itself.
