Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time by Michael Downing

4.0

I really enjoyed this informative, very readable little book about the history and ongoing controversy surrounding Daylight Saving Time. I, apparently like many people, have always thought it initially had something to do with farming, but it turns out this was in no way the case. It was more a matter of energy conservation, at least in theory. I had never stopped to think about whether or not DST is observed in other parts of the world, so the global perspective this book provided was interesting. Definitely worth a read!
