Still valid and interesting, these proceedings of a physicists' meeting back in 1993 try to address the ultimate reasons of the arisal of time reversal asymmetry at the observational level, upon time symmetric fundamental dynamical laws, both classical and quantum. The general picture, at least as a widespread proposal, suggests that it is the non - thermal - equilibrium state of the Universe which is responsible for this phenomenon. Particularly, it is corollarily suggested that there is a corresponding stochastic (statistical) component influencing the developments according to the dynamical laws and the observations, of a universal nature, being the origin of entropy production. In this context, a valuable introductory section is devoted to the decoherence picture, defined as a theory of the transition of classical out of a quantum, world, also quantum cosmology with its specific problems such as proper boundary conditions.

The who's who in time
This book is 20 years old and still has relevance. The printed conversations are after each article are very insightful.
