Introduction

Dawn Song and Bat Flit: Heeding the habits of fellow creatures

Day's-eyes and turnsoles: following the hours of flowers

Waulking songs and furlong-ways: Beating time by the human voice and body

Scratch dials and stick dials: dividing the day by the flow of shadows

Daymarks: Tracing time by the light over the landscape

The gloaming and the dimpse: sensing time by the colors and qualities of twilight

Star clocks: Marking time by the motion of the night sky
