Cosmology

What happened in the Big Bang ? How did galaxies form ? Is the universe accelerating ? What is 'dark matter' ? What caused the ripples in the cosmic microwave background ? These are just some of the questions today's cosmologists are trying to answer. This book is an accessible and non-technical introduction to the history of cosmology and the latest developments in the field. It is the ideal starting point for anyone curious about the universe and how it began.
