First American Edition

HC 256 pages -- approx. size: 8.5" by 5.75"

The creation of standard time, with its two dozen global time zones, is one of the great inventions of the Victorian Era, yet it has been largely taken for granted.

In Time Lord, Clark Blaise re-creates the life of Sanford Fleming, who struggled to convince the world to accept standard time.
It’s a fascinating story of science, politics, nationalism, and the determined vision of one man who changed the world.
Set in a time marked by substantial technological and cultural transformation, Time Lord is also an erudite exploration of art, literature,
consciousness, and our changing relationship to time

Very good hardcover edition. Book is as new except for remainder dot on top. Cover shows some mile shelfwear but very nice. Unclipped.
