Hard cover, 182 pp. "Using everyday examples from around the world, psychologist Sarah Norgate here unravels both the mental and biological mysteries of our relationships with time and provides a clear understanding of the links among behavior, brain, and genes. Norgate begins by musing on the origins of our obsession with punctuality; the conflicting practices of rushing and taking things slowly; and economy-driven proverbs from highly industrialized nations and how they differ from beliefs and attitudes in more rural areas.
