Hidden Rhythms: Schedules and Calendars in Social Life

Zerubavel, Eviatar. Hidden Rhythms: Schedules and Calendars in Social Life. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1981.

Why this matters here

Zerubavel studies how schedules and calendars organize collective time through conventions that become familiar and difficult to see. The prologue invokes his social analysis of temporal coordination separately from Landes's history of clockmaking technologies.
