After reading Money's deeply fascinating book, I realized I was looking at the world around me in a completely different way. It takes the reader on a journey that starts with a fraction of a second and ends with a billion years, in a book about the passage of time that is different from any other I have ever read. --Torbjorn Ekelund, author of In Praise of Paths: Walking Through Time and Nature
