"This is a delightful little book."
New Scientist
"The trouble with time is that there is so much of it. Since writers woke up to this fact, book after book has appeared with histories of its past and histrionics about its future. So how to tell the wheat from the chaff? Try asking whether the work adds to our understanding of the meaning, measurement, or consequence of time? Derek York's In Search of Lost Time passes this test. It contains a kernel of novel material about how we learnt to determine the ages of the oldest things on Earth - rocks, artefacts and fossils - as well as how we became comfortable with a world that was not thousands but billions of years old. This is not to be found in other books on time."
