Have you ever tried to spend a day without looking at a clock or checking your watch? It's almost impossible. Time rules our lives, but how much do we understand about it? & is it possible to retrain our brains & improve our relationship with it? Drawing on the latest research from the fields of psychology, neuroscience & biology, & using original research on the way memory shapes our understanding of time, the acclaimed writer & broadcaster Claudia Hammond delves into the mysteries of time perception. Along the way, Claudia introduces us to an extraordinary array of characters willing to go to great lengths in the interests of research, such as the French speleologist Michel, who spends two months in an ice cave in complete darkness. We meet one group of volunteers who steer themselves towards the edge of a stairwell, blindfolded, & another who are strapped into a harness & dropped off the edge of tower block.

The first Britons did very little to impose upon or alter the landscape they inhabited, & the gods they worshipped were those of nature itself. From as early as 5000 BC, farm tools, stone axes, pottery & antler combs were in common use by a nomadic community who lived entirely off the l&. These people disposed of their dead using a burial rite known as ï ½corpse exposureï ½, which means simply leaving a body in the open air to be devoured by animals & birds. It goes without saying that much has changed in Britain throughout the centuries, from the building of Stone Henge as a possible astronomical observatory or a temple for ritual worship in 2500 BC, to the Industrial revolution & the invention of the flying shuttle by John Kay in 1733.
