Nahin is a hardcover Second Edition, 3rd printing, in Good+ condition. The covers are in good shape, showing light corner wear and indented spine caps. The binding is square and tight, maintaining a solid structure. There is a faint sign of moisture exposure on the lower front corner of the text block, but the interior pages are clean and unmarked.

Nahin explores the history of time travel in fiction alongside foundational concepts of time and spacetime, drawing on the work of groundbreaking thinkers such as Albert Einstein, Richard Feynman, and Kurt Gödel. Topics such as time travel paradoxes are extensively discussed, offering readers both a scholarly and imaginative perspective.Enriched with references to science fiction films, novels, and comics, the text strikes a balance between a detailed academic discussion and an entertaining look at how time travel has captured popular imagination. Clifford Stoll, author of The Cuckoo's Egg, describes it as "a gem of a book," while reviews in Nature and Physics World commend its comprehensive research and balance of fun with speculation.The book will be carefully packaged to protect it during shipping.
