Synopsis
Written by a world expert in observational cosmology, this is the only introductory text on cosmology aimed at an undergraduate level. This highly popular book has been revised and updated and is now in its third edition. The author shows how different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio waves to gamma-rays, have contributed to our picture of the universe. This new edition includes rival theories of the universe as well as the tests which they can be subjected and recent results of such tests. Another special feature of this edition is the updated list of twenty current controversies in cosmology today. This book is intended for undergraduate courses in cosmology in astronomy or physics departments. Interested non-specialists

Review
Review from previous edition Well-written and well-presented text which will appeal to both specialists and non-specialists. (Aslib Book Guide)
As in earlier editions, the book nicely occupies the gap between popular texts and those that grapple with a full general relativistic approach; it provides just about the right level of numerical and mathematical detail for an introductory course at, say, first- or second-year undergraduate level [...] a handy little book. (The Observatory)
