Clark Blaise, Time Lord : Sir Sandford Fleming and the Creation of Standard Time. London : Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2000. viii + 246 pages.
Blaise writes a vivid portrayal of Victorian attitudes and reactions to science and technology -- particularly their anxiety of speed introduced by raliroads, and how speed shrank distance and created a new need for standardized time.
