Description
Where would you go if you could travel through time—and would there be indoor plumbing?
Pauline Baird Jones has sent plenty of fictional people through time. Taking the trip herself? She has a few questions. About the dangers, certainly. But also the bathrooms. And whether she could bring an ice chest for the pastries.
Join her for a curious, occasionally sideways ramble through the science, strange stories, questionable machines, and enduring appeal of time travel. Along the way, meet would-be travelers, consider some remarkable claims, and explore why yesterday can exert such a powerful pull—even when we know we’d miss air-conditioning.
Beneath the fun lies a familiar wish: to see someone again, revisit a place we loved, or discover what might happen if we had one more chance.
With whimsical illustrations, a browsing list of time-travel books, films, and television, and opening samples from thirteen of Pauline’s own adventures, Time Travel, With Reservations invites you to explore the possibilities from the comfort of your favorite chair.
Bring your curiosity. Pauline’s bringing the ice chest.
