"Flaherty invites us to the fascinating world of the phenomenology of time. Particularly sensitive to the inherent tension between the standard and the idiosyncratic, he offers a cross-situational, generic analysis of the circumstances when there is a considerable discrepancy between clock time and our subjective experience of duration such that we feel that time is either compressed ('flies') or protracted ('stands still'). . . . Clearly conceptualized and elegantly written, A Watched Pot is phenomenology at its best." - Eviatar Zerubavel, author ofHidden RhythmsandThe Seven Day Circle, "Masterful. This is arguably the most comprehensive inquiry to date by a sociologist on the perception of time, its passage and duration." - Barry Glassner, University of Southern California, "Flaherty invites us to the fascinating world of the phenomenology of time.

Synopsis
Time, it has been said, is the enemy. In an era of harried lives, time seems increasingly precious as hours and days telescope and our lives often seem to be flitting past. And yet, at other times, the minutes drag on, each tick of the clock excruciatingly drawn out. What explains this seeming paradox? Based upon a full decade's empirical research, Michael G. Flaherty's new book offers remarkable insights on this most universal human experience. Flaherty surveys hundreds of individuals of all ages in an attempt to ascertain how such phenomena as suffering, violence, danger, boredom, exhilaration, concentration, shock, and novelty influence our perception of time. Their stories make for intriguing reading, by turns familiar and exotic, mundane and dramatic, horrific and funny. A qualitative and quantitative tour de force, A Watched Pot presents what may well be the first fully integrated theory of time and will be of interest to scientists, humanists, social scientists and the educated public alike. A Choice Outstanding Academic Book.

    This was a very hard to find (at a reasonable price) item, so it made me happy to find on ebay with a seller who made the purchase effortless! Shipped the same day and arrived in packaging that proved the seller cared a lot about ensuring it was safe. There was no variation from the description - it was exactly what I wanted!

    A++++ fast shipping, well packaged, fair price. Photo shows slip cover, but arrived sans slip 🤷‍♂️. In total, good eBay transaction.
