Time is the continuous progression of existence that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, and into the future.^[1]^[2]^[3] It is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events (or the intervals between them), and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] Time is often referred to as a fourth dimension, along with three spatial dimensions.^[8]

Biography

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss biography which sells more books now than ever before; last year people in this country spent 115 million pounds on 12 and a half million copies of biographies.
