This fully revised edition of this standard work on the philosophy of time and space includes two new chapters on Zeno?s paradoxes, new material on dynamic time, speculative contemporary developments in physics, and time and consciousness, making the second edition, once again, unrivalled in its breadth of coverage. Surveying both historical debates and the ideas of modern physics, Barry Dainton evaluates the central arguments in a clear and unintimidating way and is careful to keep the conceptual issues throughout comprehensible to students with little scientific or mathematical training. The book makes the philosophy of space and time accessible for anyone trying to come to grips with the complexities of this challenging subject. With well over 100 original line illustrations and a full glossary of terms, the book has the requirements of students firmly in sight and will continue to serve as an essential textbook for philosophy of time and space courses.… (meer)

Basically a philosophy volume (possible textbook) but with quite a lot of science included, especially toward the end. Those sections that include science in the argumentation (forgive me for so opining) seem a lot less pointless than those that are purely philosophical. One idea I'm quite comfortable with is that not only is the past just as real as the present but so is the future. (As is described in Brian Greene's latest book, in Einsteinian spacetime a cosmologically distant being could make any event in your past or future be part of his present [though without necessarily being able to observe it] just by moving away from or towards you at a certain speed.) www.liv.ac.uk/~bdainton/time&space.html
