The Nature of Space and Time (New in Paper)
Princeton University Press 2010; US$ 15.95Einstein said that the most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible. But was he right? Can the quantum theory of fields and Einstein's general theory of relativity, the two most accurate and successful theories in all of physics, be united in a single quantum theory of gravity? Can quantum and cosmos ever be combined?... more...
Defending Einstein
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 38.00Offers an insight into the development of scientific philosophy and the role of the philosopher. more...
The End of Time
Oxford University Press, USA 2000; US$ 18.99Richard Feynman once quipped that "Time is what happens when nothing else does." But Julian Barbour disagrees: if nothing happened, if nothing changed, then time would stop. For time is nothing but change. It is change that we perceive occurring all around us, not time. Put simply, time does not exist. In this highly provocative volume, Barbour... more...

Time Reversibility, Computer Simulation, Algorithms, Chaos
World Scientific Publishing Company 2012; US$ 114.00A small army of physicists, chemists, mathematicians, and engineers has joined forces to attack a classic problem, the reversibility paradox, with modern tools. This book describes their work from the perspective of computer simulation, emphasizing the authors' approach to the problem of understanding the compatibility, and even inevitability,... more...
Einstein's Relativity
Springer 2012; US$ 99.99This richly illustrated book is unique in bringing Einstein's relativity to a higher level for the non-specialist than has ever been attempted before, using nothing more than grade-school algebra.
