A look at the human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. Time and Place—Timeplace—is a continuum of the mind, as fundamental as the spacetime that may be the ultimate reality of the material world.Kevin Lynch's book deals with this human sense of time, a biological rhythm that may follow a different beat from that dictated by external, "official," "objective" timepieces. The center of his interest is on how this innate sense affects the ways we view and change—or conserve, or destroy—our physical environment, especially in the cities.

Acclaimed author of works on the fall of the Chamberlain government and on the sinking of RMS Titanic, GMW Wemyss is also the West Country's beloved essayist, here returning to rural matters and their cosmic echoes and harmonies in this seasoned and seasonal collection of essays. Sheep, chalk-streams, eccentric neighbours, Evensong, village cricket, Lib Dems in the wild, the pub and the parish jumble: here are reportage, reminiscence, and a gift for making the daily round a meditation upon eternity.Elegant, epigrammatic, and acute, these meditations and essays form a countryman's calendar of changeful time and the eternal moment: life in sprung rhythm. This is a countryside classic, wise and humane, after the fashion of Gissing's Henry Ryecroft and the memoirs of Adrian Bell.
