Hardback. Is time, even locally, like the real line? Multiple structures of time, implicit in physics, create a consistency problem. This book includes historical details and explains - why the entropy law is inadequate for time asymmetry, and why notions such as time asymmetry (hence causality) may be conceptually inadequate.
