Summary: a good collection
Comment: Plot synopses:
YEAR OF THE QUIET SUN: U.S. government casts a time machine increasingly further into the future to gather political and demographic data, in an attempt to avert a looming civil conflict.
THE WINDS OF TIME: A spacefaring race crashes a ship on earth in prehistoric times and travel to the future by hibernation, waiting for a civilization to arise with sufficient technoogy to repair their spacecraft.
THERE WILL BE TIME: Random humans are born with the ability to move themselves forward and backward through time purely by mental will. They ally and utterly change the world.
All of these are excellent stories, with THERE WILL BE TIME standing out as the best of the three. Anderson beats the stuffing out of the time travel theme, as Alfred Bester did for telepaths in THE DEMOLISHED MAN. Not only do the characters jump between historical periods, they also find interesting uses for jumps of a few minutes forward or backward. Babies time travel with surprising results. THERE WILL BE TIME is very well thought out and worth the price of the book alone.

Summary: winds of time
Comment: this is one I read more that once. Startling now, how well Oliver portrays both the emptiness and boredom of 1950's middle class life and how well he gets us to fell the sense of loss among human like aliens whose spaceship crashes on Earth..all in the course of a really good story. Don't miss it!

Summary: Excellent
Comment: Three very different tales, each excellent in its own way. Shows the versatility of the time travel idea. Interesting how gloomy these authors thought the future (in some cases, our day) would be
