Acknowledged to be the world’s foremost scholar of the interdisciplinary study of time, Dr J.T. Fraser (1923-2010) is the author of six volumes, some seventy articles in professional periodicals and editor of ten volumes addressing the integrated study of time. He is the founder of the International Society for the Study of Time (1966), founding editor of KronoScope - Journal for the Study of Time and has lectured extensively at home and abroad.
Recenzii
'"Time and Time Again: Reports from a Boundary of the Universe" deserves to be regarded as a canonical work for humankind's journey into the 21st century. Like Hermann Hesse's Glass Bead Game master, Julius Thomas Fraser plays with the Study of Time with intellectual rigor and lyrical beauty. ' (B. Caithness)
