About Time: A Children's Guide to the History and Science of Time

By Rebecca Struthers and Alom Shaha

Time is central to our experience as humans, and it's important for children to know not just how to tell the time, but also how to make the most of it.

About Time will help them learn how to tell the time on a variety of devices, and about all the different ways humans have tried to do this. Through unique and fun interactive elements, the book will also help children understand how clocks work and even build some time-telling and clockwork devices for themselves

This book benefits from the unique partnership of an award-winning practicing watchmaker and experienced physics teacher to pair the best of timekeeping mechanics and history with the national curriculum.
