It takes a rare personality to turn a missed train ride into a global transformation. Such a personality Blaise rescues from obscurity in this life of the Canadian engineer and surveyor Sanford Fleming. Fleming's vexation at an avoidable error in a train schedule propelled him into a worldwide crusade for a rational and universal standard for time. Along the way, Blaise pushes readers far beyond the nineteenth-century formula for keeping clocks aligned, into the mystery of time itself.
