Review

Review of the hardback: '... the strength of the book lies in the way it sets out the story of the rise of modern relativistic cosmology against the backdrop of the development of science as a whole. It succeeds in explaining how dramatic theoretical speculation is only a small part of the tale.' General Relativity and Gravitation

Book Description

This textbook provides a historical introduction to modern relativistic cosmology for first year undergraduates and non-science majors undertaking a physics course. The topics are presented non-mathematically, with the emphasis on the underlying ideas. The tests and supporting experimental evidence are explained together with their predictions and their confirmation.
