Chisel job all the way. It turns out this is not really a book about peoples' ideas about time or the increasing precision of calenders then clocks. It is a history of geology (including what there was before geology and the relevant physics and chemistry) focused around the search for an age of the earth. It is most digression and thumb-nail bios of scientists. Worth having read.
