Reviews
'... the book is complementary to many discussions about (real or imagined) arrows of time in physics, and is clearly written despite the philosophical and mathematical details. [... this book] is thus essential reading for those interested, whether or not they completely agree with Roberts.' Phillip Helbig, The Observatory
