New Perspectives in Astrophysical Cosmology
Editorial Reviews
Review
'A fascinating book which all students and others, with an interest in cosmology and some knowledge of physics, should read.' Michael Rowan-Robinson, Nature
'A slim but truly remarkable volume. It synthesizes modern cosmology in a way that no other book or review has recently succeeded in doing ... It is highly recommended.' Chris Prichet, Journal of The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
'This, very readable book, is aimed at anyone interested in astrophysics and cosmology ... Highly recommended.' Peter D. Mata, Spaceflight
Book Description
This volume presents an unique and accessible synthesis of modern cosmology. In recent years, observational cosmology has made remarkable advances, bringing into sharper focus a new set of fundamental questions that Martin Rees addresses in this book. Why is the universe expanding the way it is? What were the 'seeds' that caused galaxies, clusters and superclusters to form? What is the nature of 'dark matter'? What happened in the very early universe? The latest exciting advances and theories are discussed, while maintaining a clear distinction between aspects that now have a firm empirical basis and those that remain speculative.
