5.0 out of 5 stars Time - and how humans try to make sense of it, September 12, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Anthropology of Time: Cultural Constructions of Temporal Maps and Images (Explorations in Anthropology) (Paperback)
Alfred Gell's book is both scholarly and (generally) accessable for laypeople and those (like Gell) who are anthropologists . He looks at opposing theories of time perception and how these fit with a human grasp of time. Some of the more theoretical (philosophical) sections are quite heavy. Persist and you shall be rewarded. I enjoyed this book and found it a real thought-provoker.
