One of TIME's Ten Best Nonfiction Books of 2018"Meet the new Stephen Hawking . . . The Order of Time is a dazzling book." --The Sunday Times
From the bestselling author of Seven Brief Lessons on Physics, comes a concise, elegant exploration of time. Why do we remember the past and not the future? What does it mean for time to "flow"? Do we exist in time or does time exist in us? In lyric, accessible prose, Carlo Rovelli invites us to consider questions about the nature of time that continue to puzzle physicists and philosophers alike. For most readers this is unfamiliar terrain. We all experience time, but the more scientists learn about it, the more mysterious it remains. We think of it as uniform and universal, moving steadily from past to future, measured by clocks. Rovelli tears down these assumptions one by one, revealing a strange universe where at the most fundamental level time disappears. He explains how the theory of quantum gravity attempts to understand and give meaning to the resulting extreme landscape of this timeless world. Weaving together ideas from philosophy, science and literature, he suggests that our perception of the flow of time depends on our perspective, better understood starting from the structure of our brain and emotions than from the physical universe. Already a bestseller in Italy, and written with the poetic vitality that made Seven Brief Lessons on Physics so appealing, The Order of Time offers a profoundly intelligent, culturally rich, novel appreciation of the mysteries of time.

Incredibly cozy and comfortable
Color: Ivory Checkered, Size: Throw(50"x70")
I’m really impressed with this soft throw blanket. The fabric is super plush and feels amazing against the skin. It’s just the right size for cuddling up on the couch, and it adds a nice touch of comfort without being too heavy. The material seems well‑made and built to last, making it a great value for everyday use.

Adorable and durable
Color: Lavender Heart, Size: Queen(90"x90"), Color: Lavender Heart, Size: Queen(90"x90")
I got this blanket in the queen size and it fits more than enough, if not more, across my queen sized bed. It's very soft, and holds up well in the washer and dryer. I havent witnessed any shedding after washing it. A very nice blanket, especially to use during the colder months!

Soft, lightweight and comfy
Color: Grey Checkered, Size: Twin(60"x80")
I was looking for a lightweight twin blanket to use as a sofa throw and came across this. Perfect color, lightweight, and very soft. I don’t care for heavy blankets or throws when lounging, just something to take a little chill off. This fit the bill perfectly and be prepared for a cat on your lap! Rated as 4 out of 5 stars as durability has yet to be seen.
