Newspapers & Magazines
"This is an interesting and thought-provoking book. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty; general readers." (E. Kincanon, Choice, Vol. 53 (11), July, 2016) "John Potts, boldly charts human perceptions of time and space through ancient civilisation, across indigenous cultures and religious practices, to myriad present day concepts of physical and virtual space. ... His versatile, comprehensive knowledge and clear exposition of the basics of media studies works well alongside this micro-encyclopaedia of artists and space time conceptions. ... it offers a vivid glimpse into the mind of an author with an immense general knowledge and a gift for making new connections." (Prudence Gibson, Performance Paradigm, Issue 12, 2016)
