The nature of time, and how various societies describe and measure the passage of time, has long been one of the most fascinating areas of social history and philosophy. In this essay Norbert Elias argues that what we call "time" is neither an innate feature of the human mind, nor an immanent characteristic of non-human nature. Rather it is an achievement of human synthesis which can be understood only in connection with certain processes of social development. He shows how attitudes to time have differed from early societies to modern by taking examples from a wide range of societies at every level of development and relating time to the move from "involvement" to "detachment": the laborious construction of the European calendar over thousands of years serves as a model of the fruitfulness of the developmental approach to sociology which Norbert Elias has always advocated. This work is aimed at specialists and students in sociology, psychology, philosophy, and history.

In the first contemporary single-volume survey of the three arts of Veniceâpainting, sculpture, and architectureâNorbert Huse and Wolfgang Wolters offer an important counterbalance to the traditional orientation toward painting as the city's preeminent art by focusing on architecture as the essential Venetian art. They begin their study in 1460, when Venice was one of the key powers of Italy, and end with the death of Tintoretto in 1594, a period of waning international power. In the process, they define the distinctly Venetian terms by which the city and its culture should be understood. With over three hundred illustrations and an exhaustive bibliography, this volume makes an impressive contribution to art historical scholarship."The historical aspect of this book is splendid, but where it excels is in its fearless and thought-provoking critical judgements. . . . it will lead both beginners and experts to new joys."âDavid Ekserdjian, Times Literary Supplement
