by David Prerau

Why we put the clocks forward... Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it.

For several months every year, for better or worse, daylight saving time affects billions of people throughout the world. Every spring, the clocks go forward, and every autumn they go back. Saving the daylight explores for the first time the contentious and surprisingly entertaining story of this deceptively simple attempt to regulate the sunlught hours.
