Product Description
World-wide time relationships no longer need to be mysterious or difficult to understand. The tables presented in this book compensate for the effect of such variables as Daylight Saving Time and the International Dateline. Time is indicated in both twelve- and twenty-four hour forms of notation, the date relationship between places is clearly indicated, information is provided about the basic time that is observed in a place, time zones are described for those countries having multiple time zones, and the dates during which Daylight Saving (also called Advanced or Summer Time) applies are described. A significant feature of this volume is the portrayal of time relationships across the spectrum of a full twenty-four-hour day, so users can easily determine the optimum time to place a call, send a fax, etc. Unlike time calculators, the user does not need to know whether or when Daylight Saving Time is observed in another place, because separate tables are provided for both Standard and Daylight Saving Times for those places that observe both. In international communications and trade, there is often only a small overlap in the working hours of distant partners or clients. "International Time Tables" will help anyone with long-distance communications requirements cope with the nuances of world-wide time.
