Time machines : time travel in physics metaphysics and science fiction

Synopsis

"Here's a gem of a book...all peppered with delightful notes from science fiction films, novels, and comics. I can't turn a page without finding a jewel". -- Clifford Stoll, author of The Cuckoo's Egg

The research that has gone into this book is impressive". -- Nature

"For professional physicists much of the value lies in the extensive technical appendices and footnotes, and the exhaustive list of references. But if, like me, you are a child at heart, the real fun lies in the zany stories and wild speculations". -- Physics World
