“Roenneberg is a
knowledgeable guide, with a talent for making difficult concepts clear and
convincing…This is a fascinating introduction to an important topic, which will
appeal to anyone who wishes to delve deep into the world of chronobiology, or
simply wonders why they struggle to get a good night’s sleep.”
— New Scientist
-
“Till Roenneberg’s
book is an engaging and informative layman’s introduction to circadian science
and its implications for contemporary humans…By integrating quality scientific
exposition with well-rounded human vignettes, Roenneberg’s book shows how
sophisticated human behaviors arise partly from our embodied earthly nature.”

“Internal Time made me think deeply about what it means to be a
time-bound organism: about the ways we live in time and the ways time lives in
us. It is, in an unusually literal sense, a book about what makes us tick.”
— New York
-
“A brilliant book.”
— Telegraph
-
“Roenneberg has built
his book on decades of research in everything from fungi and single-celled
organisms to humans. In brilliantly minimalist terms, he explains the temporal
mismatches behind teen exhaustion, early birds and night owls, and sleep
phobia.”
— Nature
-
“This is a wonderful
book from a gifted scientist, thinker, and writer that provides the reader with
the rare opportunity to discover something new about themselves and the world
in which they live.”
— Russell G. Foster, University of Oxford
-
“Internal Time is an accessible, up-to-date overview of a subject that is
important to all of us. With its remarkable depth and breadth of coverage, this
book should be of interest to a wide and diverse audience.”
— Martin Zatz, editor, Journal of Biological Rhythms
-
“Not many recent titles cover this topic, and
this is a welcome addition.”
— Library Journal
-
“Fascinating…Other
books have dealt with our biological clocks, but Roenneberg focuses on the ways
in which societal pressures seem to be leading us to disregard our clocks, at
considerable cost.”
— Wilson Quarterly
