Recensioner i media

"This is a book written by a truly innovative thinker who reveals how the past is never ‘the past’ but is always part of ‘the present’. She shows that time is always out of joint because local ‘histories’ reverberate in the everyday doing of work, in unsuspected and almost unnoticed ways, so past and present collide. Written in a very accessible style, this book is invaluable for understanding what goes on beneath the surface of workplace interactions", Professor Nancy Harding, University of Bath.
