T. Fraser, founder,\nInternational Society for the Study of Time\n\"This is the book for those of us who couldn't wade completely through\nHawking's A Brief History of Time and now have it collecting dust\non our bookshelves. Well written, thought-provoking, and, most important,\nunderstandable.\" -- Michael Epstein, analytical spectroscopist\/chemist,\nNational Institute of Standards and Technology\nWhat is time? Does it really pass? These and other fascinating questions\nabout the nature of time animate a continuing philosophical and scientific\ndebate. In this popular French book, now available for the first time\nin English; my Lestienne moves to make the bewildering concepts\nof time accessible--and interesting. He uses Galileo, Newton, Einstein,\nand others to demonstrate how the concepts of causality and entropy became\nso pervasive that they eventually were substituted for time itself. He\nalso shows how recent advances in astronomy, particle physics, developmental\nlife sciences, and the neurosciences are helping to shape a new philosophical\nvision of time.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0252064275\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0252064275.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lestienne, Remy|Neher, E C\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
