5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended if you have any interest in the title, 3 Feb 2007
By Paul Dunwoody (Dublin, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A fascinating insight to the twice annual ritual of clock adjustments that affect most of the worlds population, yet nowadays hardly merits any discussion or contention. This is a highly enjoyable read that is packed with facts & anecdotes, but as an American publication, it perhaps concentrates on the American justification of the measure, at the expense of a European/British perspective, but well worth a read.
