Albert’s
Time and Chance sparked a lively debate about the deep origins of time asymmetry, such as why do we know more about the past than future?
The Probability Map of the Universe is a fantastic entry into this debate. It is focused yet broad, has overlap without redundancy, and is chock full of engaging contributions by experts. -- Craig Callender, University of California, San Diego
