| Abstract
|
:
|
"Space and time are the most fundamental features of our experience, and yet they are also the most puzzling." "Robin Le Poidevin provides a clear, witty, and stimulating guide through these and many other puzzles and paradoxes. Drawing on a variety of examples from science, history, and literature, he gives a vivid sense of the difficulties raised by our ordinary ideas of space and time, and equips us to think about these problems for ourselves."--Jacket.
