Praise for this book

"Nowotny's reflections cover a wide range of topics and disciplines in a most stimulating way ... I am sure the book will appeal to a wide range of readers - but in particular, of course, to the growing number of students of time, history and the individual." (Time News)

"Nowotny brings together two of the hottest topics in the social sciences: temporal experience and the transition from modernism to postmodernism ... a crucial book for anyone who is interested in understanding contemporary society." (Choice)
