Seit Jahrtausenden fragen die Menschen sich »Was ist Zeit?«. Dieses Buch bietet überraschende Antworten. »Was also ist die Zeit?«, fragte schon Augustinus, um zu antworten: »Wenn niemand mich danach fragt, weiß ich’s, will ich’s aber einem Fragenden erklären, weiß ich’s nicht.« Ganz ein- fach klingt dagegen die Antwort von Albert Einstein: »Zeit ist, was die Uhr zeigt.« Weshalb seine Antwort sogar von tiefen Einsichten in das Wesen der Zeit zeugt, wird in Was ist die Zeit? erklärt. Experten aus Physik, Theologie, Soziologie, Biologie, Astrophysik, Geschichte und Pädagogik erläutern, wie die Zeit immer genauer gemessen wird und ob unsere Uhren immer richtig ticken. Es geht um die Relativität von Zeit und um die Frage, wer unsere biologische Uhr stellt. Es wird nach der Ewigkeit gefragt und danach, ob man eines Tages eine Zeitmaschine bauen könnte.

Prolonged and unsuccessful wars waged in recent decades by the United States and its allies have contributed to intense debate on a 'decline of the West'. War studies experts examine here this trajectory of Western military power. They discuss conflicting perceptions of time anchored within Western political and military institutions, and the Western attachment to fast-paced warfare at the expense of longer-term political solutions. The book identifies policies that decisionmakers must adopt in order to stave off this decline.

Time and Transformation in Architecture , edited by Tuuli Lähdesmäki, approaches architecture and the built environment from an interdisciplinary point of view by emphasizing in its theoretical discussions and empirical analysis the dimensions of time, temporality, and transformation—and their relation to human experiences, behavior, and practices. The volume consists of seven chapters that explore the following questions: How do architectural ideas, ideals, and meanings emerge, develop, and transform? How is architecture manifested in relation to time, time-space, and the social dimensions it entails and produces? The volume provides both multifaceted theoretical discussions on time and temporality in architecture and empirical case studies around the globe in which these theories and conceptualizations are tested and explored. Contributors are Eiman Ahmed Elwidaa, André van Graan, June Jordaan, Joongsub Kim, Tuuli Lähdesmäki, Assumpta Nnaggenda-Musana, Sanja Rodeš and Smaranda Spânu.
Architecture --- Time perception. --- Philosophy.
