Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. THE #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER One of TIME's Ten Best Nonfiction Books of the Decade 'Captivating, fascinating, profoundly beautiful. . . Rovelli is a wonderfully humane, gentle and witty guide for he is as much philosopher and poet as he is a scientist' John Banville 'We are time. We are this space, this clearing opened by the traces of memory inside the connections between our neurons. We are memory. We are nostalgia. We are longing for a future that will not come' Time is a mystery that does not cease to puzzle us. Philosophers, artists and poets have long explored its meaning while scientists have found that its structure is different from the simple intuition we have of it. From Boltzmann to quantum theory, from Einstein to loop quantum gravity, our understanding of time has been undergoing radical transformations. Time flows at a different speed in different places, the past and the future differ far less than we might think, and the very notion of the present evaporates in the vast universe. With his extraordinary charm and sense of wonder, bringing together science, philosophy and art, Carlo Rovelli unravels this mystery. Enlightening and consoling, The Order of Time shows that to understand ourselves we need to reflect on time -- and to understand time we need to reflect on ourselves. Translated by Simon Carnell and Erica Segre. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Welcome to The Order of Time (2017) by Carlo Rovelli (Penguin Books), ISBN 9780141984964 ? a slim little book with the audacity to pick up time (yes, time) and politely explain that most of what you think it is? isn?t. If you?ve ever looked at a clock and felt it was being a bit too confident, Rovelli is here to validate that suspicion. This is physics written like philosophy, but with the sort of lyrical calm that makes you forget you?re being led into deep water. Rovelli takes the everyday idea of time ? ticking, flowing, past-to-future like a neat conveyor belt ? and starts gently removing the bolts. In modern physics, ?now? isn?t universal, time doesn?t behave the same everywhere, and the clean, familiar timeline turns out to be more of a convenient story we tell ourselves so we can remember appointments and stop thinking about entropy. And that?s the genius of this book: it?s not a grim textbook. It?s a guided tour of the weirdness, delivered by someone who clearly loves the subject and isn?t trying to win an argument, just to show you the view. There?s relativity, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics ? the whole gang ? but explained with a light touch and a human voice, the kind that makes you feel clever even when your brain is quietly melting. At some point you will probably stare into the middle distance and think, So? what even is a moment? and that?s exactly the intended effect. The irony is that it?s called The Order of Time , when one of its main points is that time is not politely ordered the way your calendar pretends it is. Your diary wants neat blocks. Reality wants probability, perspective, and a universe that does not care about your 9:00 meeting. Rovelli will also leave you with the oddly comforting idea that our experience of time ? memory, anticipation, the feeling of flow ? is real and meaningful, even if the universe doesn?t run on the same internal timetable as your kitchen clock. Condition: Good , meaning it?s been read, handled, possibly underlined by someone who had a minor existential wobble in chapter three and needed to mark the sentence that did it. It?s still perfectly ready for its next reader ? and because it?s short, it has that dangerous quality of making you think you?ll ?just dip in,? only to emerge later having temporarily lost faith in linear reality. Perfect for: curious readers who want big ideas without academic pain, anyone who likes science with a poetic edge, people who enjoy having their everyday assumptions gently dismantled, and those who suspect time has been acting up behind their backs. Sold by Crappy Old Books , naturally ? because where else would a book about the unreliability of time end up, if not slightly used, still solid, and waiting for the next person to pick it up and experience several centuries of wonder in an afternoon.
