- the electric telegraph, the steam railroad, the discovery of buried civilisations, & the perfection of clocks. Gleick tracks the evolution of time travel as an idea in the culture
- from Marcel Proust to Doctor Who, from Woody Allen to Jorge Luis Borges. He explores the inevitable looping paradoxes & examines the porous boundary between pulp fiction & modern physics.

Time is the highly anticipated follow-up to the award-winning Gather. In it Gill Meller distills the essence of his approach to food & cooking
- time spent in the kitchen, with good ingredients, makes for the best possible way of life. Morning, daytime & night
- these are the touchstones of our days, & days are the markers of our years. Gill`s unique dishes fit within this framework, moving through the seasons, from freshness & light, to comfort & warmth. Gill`s dishes follow the course of the day: simple breakfasts (wild mushroom & sausage chachouka, buckwheat pancakes), glorious seasonal lunches (steamed vegetables with tamari, honey & sunflower seeds, chicken with chamomile, tomato & anchovy tart, date, olive oil & fennel cake), evening gatherings in the soft glow of summer or chill of winter (lentil dhal with crispy kale, roast pheasant with parsnips & chorizo, ceviche with rhubarb, lemon & chilli, treacle tart with thyme & orange, quince & vanilla creme brulee). This is the best of modern British cooking, from the most exciting new voice in food writing. Praise for Gill`s previous book, Gather: ` Gather does for contemporary British food what Ottolenghi has done for contemporary Middle Eastern cooking... Beautiful writing, beautiful food, this is an exquisite book that I cannot stop reading.` Nigella Lawson ` My book of the autumn & possibly of the year...
