Item Description:The papers in this volume were delivered and responded to at the Third Conference of the International Society for the Study of Time. The meeting took place during sunny days, punctuated by an occasional brief storm, in the conference facilities of the Österreichisches College in Alpbach, Austria, from July 1 to July 10, 1976.
