A Geography Of Time: On Tempo, Culture, and the Pace of Life - Robert N. Levine
- In english. First published in 2013 (e-book).
Levine presents a wide-ranging work loosely organized around a social construct of time. The result is an intellectualized "places-rated" guide containing observations on where people are the most generous and talk the fastest, as well as discussions of how "time wars" are waged and deeper insights into South American, Japanese, and other cultures through their perception of time.
-> Essay rich in anecdotes and experiences from the author, who brings very factual, and at the same time comprehensive enough, elements adding a cultural dimension of time and space, to a multi-cultural understanding of the world. Very rewarding.
