Ross’s Timely Discoveries

Quotes from Literature on Time, Past-Present-Future, Age, and Memory

The title of this second volume has a double meaning: the topics all relate to time, and it suggests that the book was released in time for readers to explore ways of thinking about time, past-present-future, age and memory. Michael Ross hopes readers will take time to explore these intriguing topics.
