Universe Today
Starting out from humankind's earliest ideas about the cosmos, this book gives the reader a clear overview of our current understanding of the universe, including big bang theories and the formation of stars and galaxies, as well as addressing open questions. The book brings together concepts in physics and astronomy, including some history in both cases. The author shows how our present view gradually developed from observations, and also how the outcome of ongoing research may still change this view.
The only prerequisite is a qualitative knowledge of basic physics concepts at high-school The text is descriptive rather than technical: the goal is to present things rigorously and without oversimplification, by highlighting the crucial physical concepts.
