Cartographies of Time
Cartographies of Time (Princeton Architectural Press) is the first comprehensive history of graphic representations of time in Europe and the United States from 1450 to the present.
Thanks to Coolhunting for pointing out an interesting new book "Cartographies of Time", by Daniel Rosenberg and Anthony Grafton, which "dissect[s] and track[s] the methods people used when attempting to record the passage of time."
Some examples:
"Relying on symbolism rather than scholastic precision to recreate a moment in time, Johannes Buno helped redesign and redefine the timeline."
"Lewis used pushpins to represent significant ‘sense events’ and connected them together with red thread. The result is a precise yet jumbled representation of Lewis’ bodily experiences. "
