In Search of Time: Journeys Along a Curious Dimension by Dan Falk

This is a brilliant book that asks the question, "What is time?" In easy-to-read language, Dan Falk explains such mind-bending concepts as string theory, Einstein’s theory of relativity, the quest to build time machines and the view held by some physicists that time is an illusion.

Adding to this fascinating discussion are chapters on the development of the calendar, the creation of such concepts as “hour” and “second”, and a captivating discussion on the future of the universe and the human race. This book is a wonderful read that will capture the imagination of anyone who is interested in time and the fabric of reality.
