 The Story of Time
Kristen Lippincott, Umberto Eco, E.H. Gombrich, et al
This monumental publication will be one of the most important,
high-profile books published to mark the Millennium, examining the very
subject that gives the Millennium its meaning: time.
The book is multi- disciplinary and cross-cultural in its subject
matter and approach and all-encompassing in its scope. It is also written
by an outstanding international cast of authors, including Umberto Eco and
Sir Ernst Gombrich, each one a renowned expert from the fields of science,
art, history, philosophy or culture. Lavishly illustrated with objects
from all corners of the world assembled for the accompanying exhibition of
the same name (1 December, 1999, to 24 September, 2000) at the Queens
House, Greenwich. This book will be a major publication of 1999.
Kirsten Lippincott, editor, is Director of the Royal Observatory,
