A Tenth of a Second: A History

 
A Tenth of a Second: A History

Description


In the late fifteenth century, clocks acquired minute hands. A century later, second hands appeared. Tracing debates about the nature of time, causality, and free will, as well as the introduction of modern technologies - telegraphy, photography, cinematography - this title locates the reverberations of this 'perceptual moment' throughout culture.
