Book excerpt: We are obsessed with time. However hard we might try, it is almost impossible to spend even one day without the marker of a clock. But how much do we understand about time, and is it possible to retrain our brains and improve our relationship with it? Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, and biology, and using original research on the way memory shapes our understanding of time, acclaimed writer and broadcaster Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, she introduces us to an extraordinary array of colourful characters willing to go to great lengths in the interests of research, such as the French speleologist Michel, who spends two months in an ice cave in complete darkness. Time Warped shows us how to manage our time more efficiently, speed time up and slow it down at will, plan for the future with more accuracy, and, ultimately, use the warping of time to our own advantage.

Download or read book Photography Temporality and Modernity written by Kris Belden-Adams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the photography’s unique capacity to represent time with a degree of elasticity and abstraction. Part object-study, part cultural/philosophical history, it examines the medium’s ability to capture and sometimes "defy" time, while also traveling as objects across time-and-space nexuses. The book features studies of understudied, widespread, practices: studio portraiture, motion studies, panoramas, racing photo finishes, composite college class pictures, planetary photography, digital montages, and extended-exposure images. A closer look at these images and their unique cultural/historical contexts reveals photography to be a unique medium for expressing changing perceptions of time, and the anxiety its passage provokes.

Download or read book Time Warp written by Roy D Perkins and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2024-11-01 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a story of fantasy whereby the characters visit other times and places through a portal in time. The main characters are George Pembroke, a retired well-to-do English gentleman from 1891; Helen Pembroke, a New York ex-stockbroker from 1929; and Bokatu, a flying saucer command pilot from the Pleiades Star Cluster (year unknown). Bokatu is introduced about halfway through the book as a main character. Till then, George and Helen Pembroke are the only main characters. While on a stroll through the London fog, George discovers the time portal quite by accident. Even though the portal is quite evident to a select few, most people don't know that it exists. While George and Bokatu are quite at home in the portal and how to negotiate through it, Helen has to struggle to find her way around. George or Bokatu lead others through the portal and into different periods. George and Helen often take their friends and club members to visit and explore other lands and other time periods. Most of the time, it's dangerous. Often, George and his friends are severely injured or killed in other times by the "local yokels" or by their constant nemesis, the Pleiades aliens. However, George and company find a way around this problem. And they don't hesitate to use this little trick of time. George and Helen meet Bokatu in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, after Bokatu's saucer crashes. The three of them, in time, become the best of friends. George, Helen, Bokatu, and George's friends venture out on a time traveling trip every week. When they return, George's cook, Millie, prepares a meal for them. Then everyone retires to the parlor or living room for smokes, drinks, or conversations about time traveling.
