This book has been thoroughly revised to include important new results. At the same time it retains the features that make it a classic text on irreversibility, and one which clearly distinguishes the latter from those time asymmetries which may be compensated for by other asymmetries. The book investigates irreversible phenomena in classical, quantum and cosmological settings. In particular, this fourth edition contains a revised treatment of radiation damping as well as extended sections on dynamical maps, quantum entanglement and decoherence, arrows of time hidden in various interpretations of quantum theory, and the emergence of time in quantum gravity. Both physicists and philosophers of science who reviewed earlier editions considered this book a magnificent survey, a concise, technically sophisticated, up-to-date discussion of the subject, showing showing fine sensitivity to crucial conceptual subtleties.
Review
From the reviews of the fourth edition:
"An unusually clear introduction to the theory of time. It covers philosophy as well as physics, and is most up-to-date, with a thorough discussion of the consistent histories approach. The author covers all areas of physics, beginning with classical physics, relativity, thermodynamics and moving through quantum physics and ending with quantum cosmology. [...] the book is highly recommended." (Mathematical Reviews 2003a)
"This book is a thorough survey of what is known about irreversibility in physics. It investigates this topic in such fields as radiation, thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, gravitation and quantum cosmology. : This book is certainly a concise, technically sophisticated and up-to-date discussion on the subject in various physical fields. It is also complete. : I can recommend this book for physicists interested in the subject : ." (Cl. Semay, Physicalia, Vol. 38 (2), 2002)
"This fourth edition of Zeh's 'The physical basis of the direction of time' represents an almost new book. : 12 years after the first edition, the author not only incorporated further new results but totally rewrote several chapters. : Therefore, libraries should keep the older editions and incorporate this new edition." (Hans-Jurgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 976, 2002)
