Almost a hundred years ago lawmakers embraced the idea of saving an hour of daylight: their movement made law but leads to modern confusion over why clocks should change. Here's a history not just of daylight savings time's evolution, but all kinds of clock tinkering processes around the world. Spring Forward: The Annual Madness Of Daylight Saving Time uses news reports, Congressional hearings, and more to chart the origins and modern controversies of daylight savings.
