It’s About Time: A Temporal Exploration

When did people start keeping track of time and why? By what means have people measured time? When did time begin? What exactly is spacetime? What role does the human mind play in time? Is time travel possible? Perhaps the most important question of all is, “What exactly is time?” These and other questions about time are addressed in this book.

Time, always there, is a major element in the lives of most people in the civilized world. We’ve gotten used to it, we accept it, we adapt to it on leap years and such, and we go about our daily business without giving it much thought. Some people, however, do think about time, and they have asked quite a few questions about it, some of which have been satisfactorily answered, some of which haven’t. For example: When did people start keeping track of time and why? By what means have people measured time? When did time begin? What exactly is spacetime? What role does the human mind play in time? Is time travel possible? Perhaps the most important question of all is, “What exactly is time?” These and other questions about time are addressed in this book.

About the Author

After being educated in economics at Yale University, David Ritchey served five years as an officer in the U.S. Navy, including a year in Vietnam. Back in civilian life, he initially became a businessman as he had been trained but, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, he dropped out, got a divorce, moved to a remote old stone farmhouse and took up fine art photography as his vocation, winning over 60 awards during the next fifteen years.

During that period, he became fascinated with the psychology and neurology of both creativity and metaphysics and returned to school to train as a psychotherapist. During his fifteen years of clinical practice specializing in hypnotherapy, he undertook a twelve-year project to research and write about such subjects and his first book, The H.I.S.S. of the A.S.P., was published in 2003. Writing proved to be every bit as rewarding as photography and became his primary vocation. Being an inveterate learner, he focused on non-fiction subjects, enjoying the research as much as the writing. His more than forty published works have won over 25 literary awards. His books can be found at www.davidritchey-author.com and online book stores.

His avocations have included scuba diving, sailing, skiing, tennis, golf, gardening, woodworking, dogs, magic, bridge, and Scrabble. He has two adult children, Harper and Mac, and one almost-adult grandchild, Brendan. He lives in historic Bucks County, Pennsylvania, and spends most of his time either writing or engaging in stimulating conversations over restaurant meals with close friends.
