The Nature of Time

"The question of the measurement and properties of time has been subject to debate for hundreds of years. The Nature of Time enters this debate with a refreshing new perspective. Divided into sections on clocks, Newtonian and humanly perceived time, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and relativity, this book focuses on a physical understanding of how humans measure and interpret the measurements of the quantity which we call time. Written in a digestible manner with little mathematics, this book will be an important introductory resource to undergraduate students in physics, biology, philosophy, and those interested in the debate on time"--
