What time is it . . . and how do you know?
This fact- and photo-filled Smithsonian Penguin Young Reader will fill you in on how people first began measuring time and why knowing "when" is important.

The history of telling time is the history of inventions and communication, from hour glasses to atomic clocks, from calendars to chronometers.
