"The nature of Time is an important book for those working on the philosophy of time, since it offers an interesting and substantiated new view about time." -- Science & Education

"Chapter 13 is an elegant one-page summary of the book. The fact that Meyer can so adeptly summarize his book in one page shows the precision and elegance of his writing. In just 134 pages of text, Meyer covers significant ground with crisp, clear prose and argument. He does not shy away from the presentation of the required logic, mathematics or physics, yet does not get mired in the technical details. Meyer does an excellent job of laying out the strengths and weaknesses of the many available positions, including his own... Meyer has carved out a tenable and interesting modal theory of time that requires consideration." --Analysis

"The Nature of Time is a fantastic read. It provides a concise introduction to various issues in the philosophy of time and a well-presented defense of a novel view. "--Jennifer Wang, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
