Black and white and color photographs and illustrations, diagrams, tables, graphs, maps, appendices, further reading, glossary, index. "No pretence to greater wisdom is made in this book; whether time is a fourth dimension of the universe or a reified abstraction, whether it is continuous or atomistic, whether it can exist independently of motion to be measured, whether any meaning attaches to 'before' in the phrase 'before Creation' or 'before the Big Bang', are for others to determine" - from the Preface. (Science, Calendar, Clocks, Science, Technology, Time).
