About This Book

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.
