Show Notes
The invention of timepieces was arguably more significant for humanity than the printing press or the wheel. So, how has timekeeping evolved over 40,000 years? How has it shaped society? And how will we keep track of time when our species starts to live on Mars?
Do make time for this whistle-stop journey through the evolution of time-telling. Watchmaker and historian Rebecca Struthers, author of 'Hands of Time' speaks to host Roma Agrawal MBE.
