Book excerpt: It is 2075. Oppression from the New Orient Empire and propaganda on the dangers of sun exposure have forced the citizens of Region 12, part of the former United States, to switch to a nocturnal schedule. In the name of progress, all countries have been required to move to a single, global time zone. After perplexing events unfold that include a visit from a mysterious stranger and rumors of a secret door in her father’s study, Yvanya McKenzie’s teenage life goes from unpredictable to worse when her father attempts to arrange a marriage between her and a wealthy colleague’s son. While she does her best to hide her disdain for his decision amid an ever-changing world, Yvanya rebels against the Empire’s strict rules and sneaks out to hang with her friends, even as soldiers patrol the streets. But when her family suddenly disappears one day, Yvanya must risk everything and join forces with unexpected allies to rescue her family, if she ever wants to see them again. Global Time Zone is the action-packed tale of a teenager’s quest to save her family amid a futuristic dystopian world where love, responsibility, and courage define her existence.

Download or read book The Global Transformation of Time written by Vanessa Ogle and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As new networks of railways, steamships, and telegraph communications brought distant places into unprecedented proximity, previously minor discrepancies in local time-telling became a global problem. Vanessa Ogle’s chronicle of the struggle to standardize clock times and calendars from 1870 to 1950 highlights the many hurdles that proponents of uniformity faced in establishing international standards. Time played a foundational role in nineteenth-century globalization. Growing interconnectedness prompted contemporaries to reflect on the annihilation of space and distance and to develop a global consciousness. Time—historical, evolutionary, religious, social, and legal—provided a basis for comparing the world’s nations and societies, and it established hierarchies that separated “advanced” from “backward” peoples in an age when such distinctions underwrote European imperialism. Debates and disagreements on the varieties of time drew in a wide array of observers: German government officials, British social reformers, colonial administrators, Indian nationalists, Arab reformers, Muslim scholars, and League of Nations bureaucrats. Such exchanges often heightened national and regional disparities. The standardization of clock times therefore remained incomplete as late as the 1940s, and the sought-after unification of calendars never came to pass. The Global Transformation of Time reveals how globalization was less a relentlessly homogenizing force than a slow and uneven process of adoption and adaptation that often accentuated national differences.

Download or read book Time Zones Communications Networks and International Trade written by Toru Kikuchi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in digital technology have driven large decreases in the costs of data transfer and telecommunications. There is a consequent increase in many kinds of international trade. One of the fastest-growing parts of this industry is "remote maintenance" whereby Indian companies debug software for companies in other parts of the world, often taking advantage of time zone differences to offer overnight service. In the existing literature on trade theory, however, relatively few attempts have been made to address the theme of communications networks and the role of time zones. The main purpose of this book is to illustrate, with simple models of international trade, how the introduction of communications networks and the utilization of time zone differences can affect both the structure of international trade and world welfare. Other technological aspects of recent international trade (e.g., competition between international standards, the impact of switching costs on imported products’ introduction) are also examined. Although a focus on theoretical trade models, the book will appeal to scholars, policy makers and business units who wish to learn from the recent changes in communications networks and its impact on the global economy. It provides information and suggestions for better policy formulation in the fast-changing world economy.
