Recenzii

Wasserman's book fills a gap in the academic literature on time travel. ... as far as I know, this is the first book length work devoted to the topic of time travel by a metaphysician homed in on the most important metaphysical issues. Wasserman addresses these issues while still managing to include pertinent scientific discussion and enjoyable time-travel snippets from science fiction. The book is well organized and is suitable for good undergraduate metaphysics students, for philosophy graduate students, and for professional philosophers. It reads like a sophisticated and excellent textbook even though it includes many novel ideas.
Besides being fascinating and extremely readable, this commendable volume is currently unique. No other full-length philosophy book about time travel exists, despite decades of time travel fiction, science and philosophy. There are some astonishing finds herein, which even specialists will find new but henceforth essential... The whole volume can be recommended without reservation to students and professionals alike.
Wasserman's book is a comprehensive overview and survey of the literature on time travel... the book will prove to be useful both for people willing to approach this topic for the first time and for more advanced scholars... Throughout all the book, the arguments are always well laid out, and each assumption is clearly highlighted... an excellent read.
This is a good read.
