    Keeping Time: The History and Theory of Preservation in America by William J. Murtagh This popular classic on preservation in America returns to print in a revised edition as part of the distinguished Preservation Press series. Written by the first Keeper of the National Register for Historic Places, it remains the quintessential textbook of graduate and college-level courses in Historic Preservation and Architectural History. Features 75 black-and-white photographs that underline relevant issues and events in American community preservation, plus three reference appendices of legal, historical and practice information. William Murtagh, the first Keeper of the National Register of Historic Places, presents an effective portrait of the preservation movement by looking into the values underlying the efforts to safeguard America's architectural heritage, including the development of legislation and court action. A section on the National Trust for Historic Preservation explains how this private, non-profit organization created in the 1940s has expanded its services and goals parallel with changes in the national preservation movement.

    "The whole of humanity has erupted violently, tumultuously onto the stage of history, taking its own destiny in its hands. Capitalism is under siege, surrounded by a global tide of revolution. And this revolution, still without a center, without a precise form, has its own laws, its own life and depth of unity - accorded it by the same masses who create it, who live it, who inspire each other from across boundaries, give each other spirit and encouragement, and learn from collective experiences." - Adolfo Gilly radical vancouver history vancouver squatter's movement history links keeping_time@ziplip.com

    It was most likely initiated in the Middle East and North Africa. A clock is defined as a device that consists of two qualities:
    • A regular, constant or repetitive process or action to mark off equal increments of time . Early examples of such processes included movement of the sun across the sky, candles marked in increments, oil lamps with marked reservoirs, sand glasses ("hourglasses"), and in the Orient, small stone or metal mazes filled with incense that would burn at a certain pace.
      A means of keeping track of the increments of time and displaying the result
    Relaying the history of time measurement has a degree of inaccuracy, much like clocks themselves. What follows is, if not completely accurate, as close as many researchers can ascertain.
    Using the Sun

    The Egyptians are the first group of people that we can reasonably prove that took time-keeping seriously as a culture.

    COUNTDOWN TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME-KEEPING.(history of time keeping and calendars) Author/s: Robert Garland Issue: April, 1999 Robert Garland investigates the ancient origins of the calendar and time-keeping systems of the Western world. Our present system of timekeeping provides us with a year of fixed and unalterable length which requires only the intercalation of a single (leap) day every four years. We seem to hold the passage of time so securely within the palms of our hands that we can almost hear its quiet heartbeat. Our present calendar has become so accurate that it will take 44,000 years before it falls out of step with the sun by so much as a single day. Pre-industrial societies base their estimate of the year's length on a variety of repetitive occurrences in the natural world. These occurrences include changes in vegetative growth, the phases of the moon, the solstices, and the movement of the stars. Thus the Greek poet Hesiod, who lived in the seventh century BC, advised farmers in Works and Days to begin the harvest when the constellation known as the Pleiades was rising and to begin ploughing when it was setting, but to sharpen their agricultural implements when snails began climbing up plants.
