Blurb: “Illustrated by Ruth Adler 9
When was it noon twice on the same day in many parts of the United States? (See page 71)
Where can you make an appointment for yesterday and keep it? (P. 72)
How can you tell time by a crab?.76)
What animal hibernates daily, not just
winters? (P. 81)
Who is responsible for February's having only 28 days? (P. 38)
Why is your watch regulator called a
"hair" spring? (P.66)
These questions suggest a few of the fascinating pieces of information to be found in Time in Your Life. There have been one or two books about clocks and calendars, but we believe that no author previously has taken the entire subject of time for a book for young people. So broad is the subject that it takes us into many fields of knowl-edge, discussing the stars and planets (man's oldest time-pieces); rocks and rivers; history and the calendar; clocks and watches; time zones; rhythms of organic life; rhythms of the universe and of the atom; music and dancing, etc., etc.
