'Time's Arrow and Quantum Measurement are two of the deepest puzzles of modern physics. In this fascinating book, Lawrence S. Schulman argues that a better understanding of the former problem points to a novel solution of the latter … his book is essential reading for anyone with a serious interest in either topic.' Huw Price, Nature 'The author has obviously ... Read moreenjoyed writing this thought-provoking work, and I enjoyed reading it. I can certainly recommend it to anyone interested in the problem as a worthwhile contribution. Furthermore the author has written for a wide readership, and I can strongly recommend this book to the general physicist as an excellent way of becoming interested in the problem.' David Pegg, Physics World 'This thought-provoking text can be enjoyed by students of the philosophy of physics, and will stimulate young researchers in theoretical physics.' Irish Astronomical Journal 'The origins of time-asymmetry and the problem of quantum measurement are two of the deepest philosophical puzzles in modern physics. In this highly original book, L. S. Schulman argues that a better understanding of the former suggests a novel solution to the latter.' The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science ' … this very readable book, written in a witty and accessible style, provides fresh insights on statistical mechanics and quantum theory.' Christian Bracher, Contemporary Physics 'To summarize, this very readable book, written in a witty and accessible style, provides fresh insights on statistical mechanics and quantum theory.'
