Time Zones

Time Zones

by David A. Adler

What are time zones and why do they exist? When it’s noon where you live, why is it midnight halfway around the world? This entertaining book explains why time zones exist and includes little-known facts and historical lore, an explanation of Daylight Savings Time, and a hands-on activity that can be performed at home or in the classroom.
