Bloomsbury presents The Fullness of Time: Marking the Day by Birdsong, Blooms, Shadows and Stars by Cathy Haynes, read by Nadia Albina.

'Fascinating and full of beauty' KATHERINE MAY, author of Wintering

A journey into the forgotten art of marking time through signs in the world around us – from the slow sliding of sunbeams to the wheeling of the stars.

Past generations would tell time by shadows shrinking, the midday glow over a mountaintop, the crowing of the rooster in the darkness. They noticed the flowers that close at noon, sensed how the quality of light changes at dusk, and marked time at night by the motion of the stars.

Today, in our clock-bound, screen-immersed world, most of us rely on machines to mark the hours. But what riches might we gain from reclaiming the forgotten art of sensing time by events in the living world?

Roaming from ancient downland to city streets, The Fullness of Time is an adventure in search of those patterns that once shaped the rhythm of our days – and an invitation to discover the simple, sensory joys of truly paying attention.

批評家のレビュー

A deeply absorbing exploration of the ways we mark time. Fascinating and full of beauty (KATHERINE MAY, author of Wintering)
Most books about time teach you how to control your hours. This one teaches you how to inhabit them. Haynes shows how past generations read the day in flower petals, birdsong, and the slant of light – and what we lost when we stopped. The Fullness of Time is a quietly radical invitation to notice more, rush less and live deeper (DANIEL H. PINK, author of When)
Haynes reminds us ancient practices such as waulking also marked a day, not in strict adherence to a mechanical timepiece, but in lived experience and in harmony with the elastic time of sunrise and sunset . . . In Haynes’s gorgeous and immersive prose, a world before widespread mechanization unfolds. With each instructive and poetic chapter, she shows us how time used to be measured by birdsong and flower bud, the color of twilight and the wide wheel of stars . . . Brings back the poetry of time, reintroducing terms such as “gloaming” and “dimpse”, which mean the dimness of twilight . . . In a world of hurry and deadlines, smartphones and social media, The Fullness of Time offers a reminder to slow down, to look up, to notice. Through evocative descriptions . . . Haynes invites us to take part in the daily rhythms of our natural world (Brandy Schillace)
Over centuries, we have invited clocks ever deeper into our lives, but they are not the only keepers of time’s rhythms. In her sensuous exploration of natural clocks, from flowers and the farmyard to the stars, Cathy Haynes presents a world that is much more than human and ticks just as regularly as our horological machines. This is a deeply attentive view over signs of the time; time – as Haynes chronicles so beautifully – in its fullness. A revelatory and utterly wonderful book (DAVID ROONEY, author of About Time)
Immaculately researched and beautifully written, Cathy Haynes resurrects the forgotten alchemy of timekeeping (LARA MAIKLEM, author of Mudlarking)
Fascinating and enchanting! Each chapter broadens and lifts our awareness, reminding us that we get to choose where we focus our attention between one dawn and the next (TRISTAN GOOLEY, author of The Walker's Guide to Outdoor Clues and Signs)
In a moment rife with distractions and too much to do, Cathy Haynes has a well-timed antidote. The Fullness of Time is a warm and insightful guide to the many ways, both subtle and vivid, that we can mark the passage of hours, months, and seasons. She shows us that by opening our senses, we can all discover the rich horological abundances in the world around us. What a simple, yet powerful, gift! (JULI BERWALD, author of Spineless and Life on the Rocks)
