Gateways,time travel and all the mysteries of space are looked at in this incredible book. I love a Time Life Book and recommend all give them a try.

A thorough breakdown of our understanding of time and space, from early creation mythologies to quantum physics, from stone monuments to track the seasons to mechanical clocks. A look at how we perceive time, how our perceptions can change variably and how all that understanding can change our lives.

I was a lucky child who had a monthly subscription to these books and no doubt tried to read through them at the tender age of thirteen, but I can only guess that my eyes glazed over on certain passages or topics. I spent a decent chunk of my twenties trying to understand concepts of physics that this book clearly spells out.

A chilling but small section on then-new computer technology and its potential to affect young people’s perception of time only begins the dialogue of where we are now.

A worthwhile, picture filled read, broken up into short sections and punctuated by small essays, this book will tell you all about exactly what is sets to. And that’s all before we get into time slips…

This was one of the best summations of "time and space" that I've ever read. Excellent for developing quantum, occult, and spiritual insight.
