Shortly after her husband's death, Julia Blackburn became fascinated
with Doggerland, the vast once-populated stretch of land that connected
Great Britain to Continental Europe thousands of years ago but is now
under the North Sea. She felt driven to explore the lives of the people
who lived there as revealed through artifacts and the fossil record. In
Time Song, she brings us along on her journey, introducing us to the
paleontologists, archaeologists, fishermen, and fellow Doggerland
enthusiasts she meets along the way. What emerges is a lyrical
exploration--part travelogue and part history--and a profound meditation
on time and the immensity of the past.
