Críticas
From the reviews: "Here's a gem of a book...all peppered with delightful notes from science fiction films, novels, and comics. I can turn a page without finding a jewel." Clifford Stoll, University of California, Berkeley, author of The Cuckoos Egg "The first edition a ] was the most thorough compendium ever written on time travel in science fictiona ]scientifically accurate and at the same time largely accessible to a broad audience of non-specialistsa ]I have been struck by the richness and complexity of the tapestry of ideas that Nahin presents a ]" Kip Thorne "The research that has gone into this book is impressive. The author has a made a good selection of ideas from the scientific literature on spacetime, causality violation and time-travel paradoxes, and they are presented at a popular level with science-fiction plots running in parallel." Nature FROM THE REVIEWS: SFRA REVIEW "Dr. Nahin has done a fine job with this book. [This book] is an excellent synthesis of the current state of the philosophical and physical discussion on time travel. His use of science fiction to illustrate the possibilities of this research make his work very readable for the layperson as well as the scientist. His explanation why H.G. Wellsa (TM)s time machine wouldna (TM)t work (it does not move in space) is particularly engaginga ][it] is an excellent addition to the discussion of time travel.a

Hardcover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Time Machines: Time Travel in Physics, Metaphysics, and Science Fiction by Paul J. 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. This fascinating book dives into the concept of time travel, tracing its roots from early appearances in English literature to the latest scientific theories from physicists like Kip Thorne and Igor Novikov. 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. A USPS electronic tracking number will be provided at no additional charge. If you have any questions or would like additional photos or details about this edition, please feel free to contact us.
