Time Capsules: A Cultural History

This book was well organized and eloquently written with thought provoking material. It is a great academic source to answer questions like "why should one create a time capsule?" or "what characteristics make a good time capsule?". The book is filled with interesting history of the time capsule woven throughout. I very much enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to others who are interested in time capsules or time travel.

There is no other book-length treatment of this topic available anywhere. And, this author treats the subject academically and in depth, with ample documentation. He writes well and the illustrations are captivating. When someone writes about something that holds his interest for a long time, the result can often be very enchanting intellectually. This is such a product!
