Large Print Book
The order of time / Carlo Rovelli ; translated by Erica Segre and Simon Carnell.
"Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike"-- Provided by publisher.
