One of the annoying things about my current research on temporality is that there are several big fat books everybody (correctly) regards as essential references that I don’t have the patience to read fully.

Still, this is hard when a subject is dominated by gravity field of big fat books. It’s like operating in Jupiter orbit. Engineering research is like the asteroid belt. Mostly papers. If it’s a big fat book, it’s already a textbook in civilized core, not part of the frontier.

Research on temporality is shaped by the gravity field of a few big fat books: J. T. Fraser’s Time: the Familiar Stranger Proust’s In Search of Lost Time The Einstein-Bergson debate (an event with a fat literature attached) David Landes’ Revolution in Time
