En savoir plus sur le livre

The establishment of standard time in 1884 transformed daily life and commerce, particularly for the railroad industry, which faced chaos due to the 144 official time zones in North America during the mid-19th century. This pivotal change resolved significant confusion and errors, enabling progress and efficiency. The creation of a global system of time zones is a remarkable yet often overlooked achievement of the Victorian Era, highlighting the importance of timekeeping in modern society.
