  • The Labyrinth of Timeby Michael Lockwood

    Clarendon Press 2005; US$ 24.99

    Modern physics has revealed the universe as a much stranger place than we could have imagined. The puzzle at the centre of our knowledge of the universe is time. Michael Lockwood takes the reader on a fascinating journey into the nature of things. He investigates philosophical questions about past, present, and future, our experience of time, and the... more...

  • A Watched Potby Michael G. Flaherty

    NYU Press 1999; US$ 75.00

    Time, it has been said, is the enemy. In an era of harried lives, time seems increasingly precious as hours and days telescope and our lives often seem to be flitting past. And yet, at other times, the minutes drag on, each tick of the clock excruciatingly drawn out. What explains this seeming paradox?. Based upon a full decade's empirical research,... more...

  • Time and the French Revolutionby Matthew Shaw

    Boydell & Brewer 2011; US$ 90.00

    The French Republican Calendar was perhaps the boldest of all the reforms undertaken in Revolutionary France. The creation of the calendar is viewed not just as an aspect of the broader republican programme of social, political and cultural reform, but as a reflection of a broader interest in time and the culmination of several generations' concern... more...

    Palgrave Macmillan 2012; US$ 30.00

  • The Yoga of Time Travelby Fred Alan Wolf

    Quest Books 2012; US$ 17.95

    Buddha said he could move backward through time, observes theoretical physicist Fred Alan Wolf. Time travel is not just science fiction; it may actually be possible. Wolf draws on yoga and quantum physics to show that time is a flexible projection of mind. Cheating time, he says, is an ancient metaphysical idea from the Vedas having to do with moving... more...

  • On the Months (de Mensibus)by Ioannes Lydus; Anastasius C. Bandy; Anastasia Bandy; Demetrios J. Constantelos; Craig J. N. de Paulo

    The Edwin Mellen Press 2012; US$ 169.95

    The objective of this edition is textual and translational in nature. Since the works of Lydus are replete with Latin vocabulary, this book serves to bring it into English. The translation is faithful to the original and accurate so as to express Lydus’ intended thoughts. His repetitious use of certain linguistic expressions, although sometimes... more...
