About the Book

Combines the science and history of timekeeping and clockmaking with interactive elements and activities Time is central to our experience as humans, and it's important for children to know not just how to tell the time, but also how to make the most of it. About Time will help them learn how to tell the time on a variety of devices, and about all the different ways humans have tried to do this. Through unique and fun interactive elements, the book will also help children understand how clocks work and even build some time-telling and clockwork devices for themselves! This book benefits from the unique partnership of an award-winning practising watchmaker and experienced physics teacher to pair the best of timekeeping mechanics and history with the national curriculum.

About the Author :
Rebecca Struthers is the most qualified watchmaker in British history, becoming the first practitioner in her field to earn a PhD in the subject. She is the critically acclaimed author of Hands of Time, a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week, as well as being a multi-award-winning watchmaker, designer, and historian. Alom Shaha is a dad, science teacher and the author of Mr Shaha's Marvellous Machines and Mr Shaha's Recipes for Wonder, books of STEM based activities for families. He is also the author of Why Don't Things Fall Up? and has received fellowships recognising his creative approach to science communication from The British Science Association, The Nuffield Foundation, and The National Endowment for Science, Technology, and the Arts (NESTA).

Review :
The clarity of explanation isn't surprising: Shaha is a science teacher and Struthers has a PhD in Horology... Forget the age range ascribed, this is a wonderful book with gorgeous illustrations that anyone with an interest in watches can learn from' It is fitting that there are sections on decoration, watch makers throughout time and contemporary artisans, because About Time really is a work of art.
