宇宙論とは何か、宇宙学者とは何をする人たちなのかといった疑問に答えを出します。また宇宙論の歴史、ビッグバン理論の発展、量子宇宙論、スーパーストリング理論、暗黒物質などのトピックを、数学や専門用語を用いずに解説します。
   

  • Written in simple language, without mathematics
  • Covers both the history of cosmology and the latest developments
  • Explains what is known, what is believed, and what is purely speculative
  • Peter Coles writes extremely well for a general readership: he is author of Einstein and the Total Eclipse and Hawking and the Mind of God, as well as textbooks on cosmology

  
This book is a simple, non-technical introduction to cosmology, explaining what it is and what cosmologists do. Peter Coles discusses the history of the subject, the development of the Big Bang theory, and more speculative modern issues like quantum cosmology, superstrings, and dark matter.

著者について: 

Peter Coles is Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics and Head of the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at the University of Sussex. He has co-written two textbooks on cosmology, and over a hundred technical articles on various aspects of the Big Bang theory. He is also author of Einstein and the Total Eclipse and Hawking and the Mind of God.

There is an embarrassment of books about the universe for the general reader, but few manage to pack so much, so elegantly, into such a compact space as this does. The book is generously illustrated. - The Guardian 09/02/02
  
Coles takes you gently through everything from Blue Shift to parallel Universe in a thoroughly entertaining read - TNT Magazine
  
a pleasure to read - New Scientist, 29/09/01
