If only he’d had recourse to this book, written by one of the first neuroscientists to ask how the human brain encodes time. Take that, Albert!"" -- Science books we’re keen to read in 2017 - New Scientist ""... a readable exploration of how the architecture of the human brain shapes our understanding of the nature of time."" -- The Bookseller ""Apparently elastic and possibly illusory, time is a puzzle to physicists and neuroscientists alike. Dean Buonomano straddles the divide, invoking cutting-edge theory and research as he wrestles with the often glaring mismatch between physical and 'felt' time.
