Why read it?
1 author picked Time's Arrow and Archimedes' Point as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Price is a philosopher and this book, along with Paul Horwich’s Asymmetries in Time and David Albert’s Time and Chance, are heirs of Reichenbach’s masterpiece. I select Price’s book here because it is more accessible than Horwich’s or Albert’s books. It is packed with fun and deep stuff: criticism of Hawking’s cosmology, exploration of the electromagnetic arrow of time, and serious discussion of wild ideas like causation going backward in time.
From Craig's list on The best books on time for people who love physics and deep thinking.
