A guide to the origins of our universe, and how different cultures, traditions and scientists have explained the meaning of the universe at different times. Ranging from the wisdom of the Ancients to the 1990s' ripple theories, this book attempts to…

This book offers a completely up-to-date introduction to the exciting science of cosmology. It describes the very latest discoveries that have led astronomers and physicists ever closer to understanding the deepest secrets of the universe: its…

It survives the pitfalls of this fashion-conscious era by pursuing a rigorously independent-minded attitude to contemporary ideas. The level is introductory undergraduate, with rather little mathematics but a strong physical basis. ...The second…

Cosmology is part of the Cambridge Modular Sciences series for A and AS levels. It builds on material covered in Foundation physics, and provides an introduction to the techniques of astronomy and the theories of cosmology. It describes the history…

A survey of current theoretical work and observation is areas of cosmology, high energy astrophysics, and solar systems studies is presented. Various constructs for steady-state and Big Bang models of the Universe are explored, as are the potentials…

For over three millennia, most people could understand the universe only in terms of myth, religion, and philosophy. Between 1920 and 1970, cosmology transformed into a branch of physics. With this remarkably rapid change came a theory that would…

A guide to the mysteries of the universe, written in everyday language so as to be accessible to the general reader. Explores the concepts of cosmology and its principles, using the analogy that the universe is like an enormous egg, with Earth and…

This book delivers a quantitative account of cosmology, designed for a nonspecialist audience. The author outlines basic principles using simple math and physics, but still provides rigorous models of the universe. He offers an ideal introduction to…
