David Prerau is not on the time zone mailing list; direct replies appropriately. -ado -----Original Message----- From: Prerau [mailto:prerau@rcn.com] Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2005 8:58 PM To: tz@lecserver.nci.nih.gov Subject: A New Book on Daylight Saving Time tz I think you would be interested to know that I have written a new book on the entire history of daylight saving time--- "Seize the Daylight, The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time". The book has received excellent reviews (e.g., "The best kind of history: rigorous and academically informed, but chock-full of lively anecdotes"), and is available from Amazon and other web sources, as well as at bookstores. On the website, www.seizethedaylight.com, there is a lot of interesting information about daylight saving time in addtion to information about the book. For the website, I'm in the process of setting up a list of web resources. People interested in my book would also be likely to be interested in your website, and vice versa. Therefore, I think it would be mutually beneficial if we exchanged website links. All the Best, David Prerau prerau@seizethedaylight.com www.seizethedaylight.com.

Perhaps the best web resource in that area is webexhibits's. You can find it and other resources in the "Civil time concepts and history" section of <http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm>. I'm planning to add the following link to your work there. Thanks for letting us know about it. <li><a href="http://www.seizethedaylight.com/dst/">Who Knew? A Brief History of Daylight Saving Time</a> summarizes some of the contentious history of <abbr>DST</abbr>.</li>
