How does women's time differ from men's? Why does time seem to move slowly in the countryside and quickly in cities? How do different cultures around the world see time? In \u003cb\u003eA Sideways Look at Time\u003c\/b\u003e, Jay Griffiths takes readers on an extraordinary tour of time as we have never seen it before.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith this dazzling and defiant work, Griffiths introduces us to dimensions of time that are largely forgotten in our modern lives. She presents an infectious argument for other, more magical times, the diverse cycles of nature, of folktale or carnival, when time is unlimited and on our side. This is a book for those who suspect that there's more to time than clocks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIrresistible and provocative, \u003cb\u003eA Sideways Look at Time\u003c\/b\u003e could change the way we view time-forever.A Sideways Look at TimeIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1.
