鈥淥nly a wayfarer born under unruly stars would attempt to put into practice in our epoch of proliferating knowledge the Heraclitean dictum that `men who love wisdom must be inquirers into very many things indeed.鈥欌€� Thus begins this remarkable interdisciplinary study of time by a master of the subject. And while developing a theory of 鈥渢ime as conflict,鈥� J. T. Fraser does offer 鈥渕any things indeed鈥�—an enormous range of ideas about matter, life, death, evolution, and value.

"This is an extremely valuable and unusual book鈥攐riginal, witty, and aware of immense ranges of contemporary thought."鈥擠avid Park, Washington Post Book World

"This is an important book about an important subject, the nature of time. . . . [Fraser] draws upon the spectrum of disciplines and illustrates that the theme of time can provide a common ground for discourse between specializations. The coverage is wide, and the book is tightly packed with information, but Fraser's driving enthusiasm makes it interesting and enriching."鈥擣rancis C. Haber, American Scientist
