Reviews

WINNER OF THE 1991 PHILIP ABRAMS MEMORIAL PRIZE. 'Barbara Adam will be read well into the next century not only for her remarkable understanding of human time but for the link she makes with the conception of time held by physicists and biologists.' Michael Young, Director, Institute of Community Studies 'Very important ... an exceptionally clearly expressed account of issues usually dealt with in the most clotted writing. It is a genuine expression of sociological thought using the insights of other disciplines not as 'borrowing' but as illustrations of a direction to be followed.' Sociology 'Barbara Adam has written a superb book.' Time and Society
