I would like to call attention to two new books related to object-centered history based on major exhibitions at Harvard's Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments. (1) Time and Time Again: How Science and Culture Shape the Past, Present, and Future , by Sara J. Schechner.  Published by the Collection of Historical Scientific Instruments. This is a lavishly-illustrated, 296-pp exhibition catalog for an exhibition by the same name in 2013 ( http://chsi.harvard.edu/chsi_tta.html ). Drawing upon collections in Harvard’s scientific, historical, archaeological, anthropological, and natural history museums and libraries, the book examines time finding from nature and time keeping by human artifice.  Readers of this book will explore cultural beliefs about the creation and end of time, the flow of time, and personal time as marked by rites of passage.
