      abstract = {The story of physicists' quest to answer a mind-boggling  question: How can we travel through time? Since H.G.  Wellsʾs 1895 classic The Time Machine, readers of science  fiction have puzzled over the paradoxes of time travel. But  in the 1990s, a group of theoretical physicists at Caltech  undertook a serious investigation of the possibility of  pastward time travel and concluded that it might be  possible, inspiring a serious and sustained study that  engaged more than thirty physicists around the world. Many  of the figures involved in these theories are familiar:  Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Kip Thorne; others are names  known mostly to physicists. These are the new time  travelers, and this is the story of their work--a  profoundly human endeavor marked by advances, retreats, and  no small share of surprises.--From publisher description.},
