Daylight Savings is this great nation's most serious threat. In adding an extra hour of daylight, we give the sun that much more time to melt icebergs and raise the ocean's water level. If you care about humanity, you will join me in the effort to TAKE BACK THIS COUNTRY, starting with eliminating global warming. Make this your status if you love America


Furthermore, since it will take some time to move those political insiders in Washington, I urge you all to join my grass-roots movement Turn Back the Tide. If each of us good, honest, hard-working Americans were to take a bucket of sea water and pour it down a sink, surely we could lower the rising oceans that threaten our coastal borders. Let's show the rest of the world the can-do spirit that has made this country great!

SEIZE THE DAYLIGHT: The Curious and Contentious Story of Daylight Saving Time tells the remarkable story of daylight saving time — the intriguing and entertaining tale of our attempt to regulate the sunlight hours. The book is full of funny anecdotes and remarkably quirky individuals, and was written by David Prerau, who has been called the world's leading authority on the subject. SEIZE THE DAYLIGHT relates the fascinating stories behind the movement for DST in the United States, Canada, Britain, France, and throughout the world.

The goal of daylight saving time—to use daylight to its maximum advantage—is generally recognized to be of universal benefit. But few people understand how surprisingly controversial this deceptively simple idea has been. SEIZE THE DAYLIGHT chronicles the long-standing debates: Proponents have proclaimed DST's benefits, including saving energy, reducing automobile accidents, providing more daylight for outdoor activities, cutting crime, and many others. But DST also has had many detractors—from farmers to parents of schoolchildren—who have waged contentious battles against it.

In addition to energy, accidents, and crime, daylight saving time affects a very wide variety of other, often unexpected areas, from Mid-East terrorism to the attendance at London music halls, voter turnout to gardening, street crime to the profits of radio stations. SEIZE THE DAYLIGHT relates all of these extraordinary tales as well—and a great deal more.
