In About Time: Einstein's Unfinished Revolution Paul Davies confronts the puzzles and paradoxes of time that have bemused the world's greatest thinkers throughout the ages.

In About Time Paul Davies tackles the tough questions about time, including the strange relationship between physical time and our psychological perception of it.
