Time: the modern and postmodern experience
Nowotny, Helga
Time: the modern and postmodern experience Nowotny, Helga - USA Polity Press 1996 - 179 p.
"Helga Nowotny's exploration of the forms and meaning of time in contemporary life is panoramic without in any way partaking of the blandness of a survey. From the artificial time of the scientific laboratory to the distinctively modern yearning for one’s own time, she regards every topic in this wide-ranging book from a fresh angle of vision, one which reveals unsuspected affinities between the bravest, newest worlds of global technology and the most ancient worlds of myth."
