Cycles of Time and Meaning in the Mexican Books of Fate
by Dr Elizabeth Hill Boone
In communities throughout precontact Mesoamerica, calendar priests and diviners relied on pictographic almanacs to predict the fate of newborns, to guide people in choosing marriage partners and auspicious wedding dates, to know when to plant and harvest crops, and to be successful in many of life's activities.

Time Travel and Our Parallel Worlds (Time Travel and Parallel Worlds, #6)
by Richard Bullivant
Inspired at an impressionable age by the work of science fiction writers H. G.Wells and Arthur C Clarke, Paul Davies has thought long and hard about ways to travel in time. Here, the best-selling popular science writer finally reveals how it can be done - without breaking the laws of physics and without causing any earth-shattering paradoxes. Since time is money, time travel is a costly business. But with the help of a handy black hole, or better a wormhole, and a bit of luck, Davies' guide illu...

Particular attention is given to the preserved evidence on which our understanding of these calendars...
In a world that saw the emergence of automatic time-balls, telegraph time signals, the speaking clock and the BBC's `six pips', one family provided Greenwich Time to paying customers across London for a staggering 103 years - using a pocket watch named `Arnold'. Ruth, the last of the time-sellers, finally retired in her 80s, in 1939, bringing to a close a remarkable episode in the history of timekeeping and of London life. David Rooney, Curator of Timekeeping at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich...

We live on one small planet circling a star we call the Sun that is just one of 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Our galaxy is just one among many millions in the Universe which was born in the Big Bang when time and space actually began.

We seem to move forward through it - whether we like it or...
