Introducing Time: A Graphic Guide by Craig Callender
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Difficult No Matter How You Do It

This is an outstanding summary of the scientific and philosophical views about time over the last 150 years. It is indeed and excellent introduction, particularly in its identification of the principle names which can be consulted for more detailed explanations. What it doesn’t do is make it any less arduous to understand what various theories mean. Time is simply enigmatic even when its enigmas are accounted for by a clever thinker. So, no short-cuts, therefore, to stretching one’s thinking beyond its comfort zone.
