Editorial Reviews

Review

"This brief undergraduate textbook emphasizes observational cosmology, with introductory chapters on the visible universe, our galaxy and others, and the empirical basis for cosmological theories. After an account of the big bang model, the book describes the stages of galaxy formation and considers alternative theories. Rowan-Robinson is affiliated with the Blackett laboratory at Imperial College, London." --SciTech Book News
