Synopsis

Written in simple and accessible language, this non-technical introduction to cosmology--the study of the creation and development of the universe--covers its history, details the latest developments, and explains what is known, what is believed, and what is purely speculative. The author discusses the development of the Big Bang theory, and more modern issues like quantum cosmology, superstrings, and dark matter.
