Linking the interpretative chapters are intriguing brief expositions on time travel, time cycles, time lines, and time pieces, showing the different ways in which human history has been located in time. In its global approach the book is part of the new shift toward \"big history,\" in which traditional period divisions are challenged in favor of looking at the entire past of the world from start to end.
