Description:
As omnipresent as it is ungraspable, time has always inspired and eluded attempts to comprehend it. For the early Christians, for the twenty-first-century world, how have past and future been woven into the present? In Chronos, a leading French historian ranges from Western antiquity to the Anthropocene, pinpointing the crucial turning points in our relationship to time.

François Hartog considers the genealogy of Western temporalities, examining the orders of time and their divisions into epochs. Beginning with how the ancient Greeks understood time, Chronos explores the fashioning of a Christian time in the early centuries of the Catholic Church. Christianity's hegemony over time reigned over Europe and beyond, only to ebb as modern time-presided over by the notion of relentless progress-set out on its march toward the future. Hartog emphasizes the deep uncertainties the world now faces as we reckon with the arrival and significance of the Anthropocene age. Humanity has become capable of altering the climate, triggering in mere life spans changes that once took place across geological epochs. In this threatening new age, which has challenged all existing temporal constructions, what will become of the old ways of understanding time?

Intertwining reflections on intellectual history and historiography with critiques of contemporary presentism and apocalypticism, Chronos brings depth and erudition to debates over the nature of the era we are living through and offers keen insight into the experience of historical time.

Lovely Shoes
Size: 8.5, Color: Nude/Nubuck
These were a gift. I understand they are "slightly" wide at the toes but fit otherwise. The color & heel height were exactly as desired. She felt the traction was also very good. I look forward to seeing her wear them to her son's wedding!

Wedding Guest Shoe
Size: 6.5, Color: Silver/Glitter
True to size. Very true 6.5 in most all of my shoes. I thought the fit was great but after wearing for a little bit they are horrible. The glitter goes down a little too far on the back and rubs the heel. The sides of your toes will hurt after a little bit of wearing them. Super cute shoes and I toughed it out because they looked great but definitely not the most comfortable shoes.

These shoes are adorable but they run large
Size: 11, Color: Champagne
Dream Pairs Low Chunk Heel Size 11 Color These shoes are absolutely gorgeous. The beautiful champagne color shines so exquisitely in the light. They are very shiny and somewhat sparkly. They are definitely eye catching. Style These shoes are great looking, rather sharp. I appreciate the chunky heel design which goes with many outfits from dresses, pants, and jumpers. Size I usually wear a size 11 shoe, sometimes a 10.5 depending on how they run, but these run large in length. I could have easily bought a size 10 for the length of the shoe. My left foot is smaller than the right foot so usually the right foot fits more snug. I definitely still had room in the back for the right foot, but of course, even more room in the back for the left foot. In terms of the width, the toe strap very well accommodates wider toe boxes, as the straps fit properly right out of the box, but the arch of the shoe is a little narrow. Nothing too noticeable but the fit of the shoe is a little odd. Versatility I find that these shoes can be worn with many different styles and outfits, and can go with dressy or casual clothing. The variety of matching outfits is not limited. Comfort These shoes are very comfortable to wear and walk in. Overall, I recommend these shoes
