Pressezitat
'Each day in 2019, Chad Orzel informs us, is nearly two milliseconds longer than days were in 1870. And they feel even longer. This entertaining and engrossing book takes us through our long struggle to measure time with precision. Filled with amazing devices, it's ultimately a story of the triumph of human ingenuity.' Sean Carroll, author of Something Deeply Hidden
