I liked the Morson book, but NB that even he had to use "sideways" -- 
which leaves in place the the underlying flaw, the *spatialization* of 
time. I don't know what to replace it with -- but I do know that

1) we don't "move through" time
2) time doesn't "flow past" us
3) the past is not "another country" -- it  "isn't" anything beyond a 
set of boundary conditions
4) that we imagine "futures" does absolutely nothing for their 
ontological status
