In doing so, the essays demonstrate so very well Elliott Jaques' statement of the ultimate justification for studying time: " In the form of time is to be found the form of living.' For by developing this collection, Hassan and Purser-- and the essays' authors-- have made an important contribution to understanding both time and life in the early 21st century." -- Allen C. Bluedorn, author of The Human Organization of Time: Temporal Realities and Experience, University of Missouri-Columbia " The authors gathered here are among the leading theorists of the new shift in dimensional thought. Original, provocative, and sophisticated, their arguments will have a profound impact on social theorists and the emerging generation of digital scholars." -- Sean Cubitt, University of Melbourne |
