• Time Space Geography [A Dictionary of Geography, Oxford University Press, Susan Mayhew 1997]
• Mapping the Life Course: Visualising Migrations, Transitions & Trajectories "... many ideas in this area can be traced back to Time Geography, and through that to Swedish geographers and in particular Torsten Hagerstrand. Time geography was ... concerned not so much with the long time spans of historical research but with daily, weekly and seasonal rhythms within human behaviour over space... Its importance here lies mainly in the range of ideas it came up with for graphically portraying individual-level data involving a time dimension."

• Time & Date If you are going to make an international phone call, then use the meeting planner to find when is it a good time to call. If you plan a telephone conference, select up to four locations in the meeting planner and it will help you find a suitable time for your conference.

  Working Hard -- Most of the Time: Workweek and productivity go up, but distractions chip away News Observer.com, June 8, 2003. By KARIN RIVES, Staff Writer [also Seattle PI June 23, 2003 -- offline]

  Americans are also logging more hours on the job than any other workers in the industrialized world -- including nearly 2.5 weeks more a year than Canadians and 12.5 more weeks than Germans, 2001 data from the International Labour Organization show.

  Catching a cosmic wave of gravity; Seattle PI, Tuesday, May 28, 2002 By TOM PAULSON

  "The theory of relativity says space and time and matter are all different manifestations of the same basic stuff, often referred to as "the fabric of space-time." Einstein's .. equation stating that energy and mass are different sides of the same coin likely sounded esoteric... But that was before E = mc2 led to such developments as nuclear power..."
  "Gravity is the force produced by the clumps, distortions or movement within the fabric of space-time... Anyone who's ever fallen off a ladder certainly knows that gravity exists. But scientists still don't really know what gravity is made of or exactly how it works."

  Robinson, John P. and Geoffrey Godbey. Time for Life: The Surprising Ways Americans Use their Time. University Park: Penn State U Press, 1997. [Summary in JEL Dec. 1997, p.2116/7] The authors are respectively Director of the Americans' Use of Time Project at the University of Maryland and Professor of Leisure Studies at Penn State University.

  Book Review: "Conventional wisdom holds that most Americans lead a frenzied existence and are constantly trying to cram too much into too little time. John P. Robinson and Geoffrey Godbey challenge this popular image of the harried American... Their conclusions are based on a method called a time diary -- a journal in which people log each activity and its duration throughout the day. The major advantage of this method is that, in contrast to other survey techniques, it forces participants to account for their complete day without relying on memory."

  Book Review (by Dave Konkol): "In a new book titled Time for Life, two time management experts recently concluded that we have more free time today than at any other point in the past three decades. How can that be?
  How many of you feel you have more free time on your hands these days? If you're like most folks I'll bet you're wondering why you're so stressed out and overcommitted, not trying to figure out what to do with all the free time you have on your hands."
