Why Time Flies: A Mostly Scientific Investigation

Alan Burdick, Text Publishing, $32.99

THE OXFORD DICTIONARY announced in 2006 that ‘time’ is the most-frequently used noun in the English language. But what is time? That’s an age-old question, and this book by award-winning author and New Yorker staff writer Alan Burdick takes a new, interesting and mindful approach to the topic in an effort to understand what we know about that often intangible concept we call time.
