Hands of Time : A Watchmaker's History of Time by Rebecca Struthers (Paperback) ✓ In Stock

In Hands of Time watchmaker and historian Rebecca Struthers welcomes us into the hidden world of watchmaking, and to a history of time that spans centuries and continents. The invention of timepieces was more significant for human culture than the printing press, or even the wheel. They have travelled the world with us, from the depths of the oceans to the summit of Everest, and even to the Moon. They regulate our daily lives and have sculpted the social and economic development of society in surprising and dramatic ways. From her workshop bench, Rebecca explores the ways in which timekeeping has indelibly shaped our attitudes to work, leisure, trade, politics, exploration and mortality, and introduces us to some extraordinary devices, each with their own story to tell. Hands of Time is an intricate exploration of the history, science, philosophy, and craft of timekeeping. 'An exquisite book, beautifully put together... What a very wonderful book.' STEPHEN FRY 'Absolutely gorgeous. It blew my socks off' JAY BLADES 'An intensely personal, finely-tuned meditation. A beautiful book' EDMUND DE WAAL 'Beautiful, bewitching and brilliant' LARA MAIKLEMA

This is Europe : The Way We Live Now by Ben Judah (Paperback) ✓ In Stock

What does it now mean to call yourself European? Who makes up this population of some 750 million, sprawled from Ireland to Ukraine, from Sweden to Turkey? Who has always called it home, and who has newly arrived from elsewhere? Who are the people who drive our long-distance lorries, steward our criss-crossing planes, lovingly craft our legacy wines, fish our depleted waters, and risk life itself in search of safety and a new start? In a series of vivid, ambitious, darkly visceral but always empathetic portraits of other people's lives, journalist Ben Judah invites us to meet them. Drawn from hours of painstaking interviews, these vital stories reveal a frenetic and vibrant continent which has been transformed by diversity, migration, the internet, climate change, Covid, war and the quest for freedom. Laid dramatically bare, it may not always be a Europe we recognize - but this is Europe. 'Vivid, urgent and unsettling' - Tom Holland 'Judah paints another Europe with tense and dramatic detail' - Andrey Kurkov
