Book Synopsis The Measure and Meaning of Time in Mesoamerica and the Andes by : Anthony F. Aveni
Book excerpt: Anthony F. Aveni gathers specialists from diverse fields to discuss temporal concepts gleaned from the people of Mesoamerica and the Andes. Essays address how they reckon and register time and how they sense time and its moral dimensions. To them, time is a feature of the process of perception, not just the sharp present ingrained in Western minds.
