Summary
Adrian Bardon's A Brief History of the Philosophy of Time is a short introduction to the history, philosophy, and science of the study of time-from the pre-Socratic philosophers through Einstein and beyond.
A Brief History of the Philosophy of Time covers subjects such as time and change, the experience of time, physical and metaphysical approaches to the nature of time, the direction of time, time travel, time and freedom of the will, and scientific and philosophical approaches to eternity and the beginning of time. Bardon keeps technical language to a minimum in bringing the resources of over 2500 years of philosophy and science to bear on some of humanity's most fundamental and enduring questions.

Comprehensive, condensed, accessible
Despite a slow and initially-drab sounding voice the calm and beauty of the words shines.

Only leaves out current science, nothing old.
At some point philosophers will have to start to pay attention to physicists again because as it stands, they are lagging decades behind in our understanding of the universe. Einstein never believed the block universe with the static time, relativity leads to the exact opposite conclusion. Read Carlo Rovelli - The order of time for a more accurate (but less exhaustive) account.
