Time After Time. "What does history look like? How do you draw time? While historical texts have long been subject to critical analysis, the formal and historical problems posed by graphic representations of time have largely been ignored. This is no small matter; graphic representation is among our most important tools for organizing information.Yet, little has been written about historical charts and diagrams. And, for all of the excellent work that has been recently published on the history and theory of cartography, we have few examples of what Eviatar Zerubavel has called 'time maps'.

"Fine was a quintessential polymath, equally at home in the workshop as in the study. Until recently1, Fine's achievements in the history of scientific enquiry have been judged closer to footnote status than significant offerings.
