Related to the subject, can anyone recommend a book about timezones? Not a technical, programming book, but one with the history of time zones and curious use cases?

It is not exactly what you're looking for, but long ago I read this book about the invention of the naval chronometer:

It's generally pretty well-regarded and closely related.

Revolution in Time is drier but still interesting and covers up past the quartz crisis starting from Babylon.
