Critics Review
This volume will constitute a significant, serious contribution to a range of debates spanning philosophy of physics, general philosophy of science, metaphysics, and epistemology. The contributors are all first-rate philosophers, their essays uniformly excellent in quality. – Edward J. Hall, Harvard University
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
