About this title

Synopsis

The Encyclopedia of Cosmology, in four volumes, is a major, long-lasting, seminal reference at the graduate student level, laid out by the most prominent, respected researchers in the general field of Cosmology. These volumes will be a comprehensive review of the most important concepts and current status in the field, covering both theory and observation.

One of the attractive features of the encyclopedia is that it is accompanied by supplementary materials including videos and simulations of the numerical computation. This will help the readers to better understand and visualize the concepts discussed.

This encyclopedia is edited by Dr. Giovanni Fazio from Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, with an advisory board comprised of renowned scientists: Lars Hernquist and Abraham Loeb (Harvard Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics), and Christopher McKee (UC Berkeley). Each volume is authored/edited by a specialist in the area: Galaxy Formation and Evolution written by Rennan Barkana (Tel Aviv University), Numerical Simulations in Cosmology edited by Kentaro Nagamine (Osaka University / University of Nevada), Dark Energy written by Shinji Tsujikawa (Tokyo University of Science), and Dark Matter written by Jihn Kim (Seoul National University).

Readership: Graduate students and researchers interested in cosmology and astrophysics.

About the Author

Dr Giovanni Fazio is widely recognized as one of the pioneers in space-borne astronomy, as signaled by his numerous international awards. In 2008, Dr Fazio received the Royal Society of London-COSPAR Massey award for his outstanding contributions to space science, and more recently, in 2015, received the highest award of the American Astronomical Society — the Henry Norris Russell Lectureship. Earlier, in 2005, Dr Fazio received the UNICO National Marconi Science Award and Medal and the NASA Public Service Medal. He was selected as Principal Investigator for the Infrared Array Camera (known as "IRAC") flown onboard the Spitzer Space Telescope, one of NASA's Great Observatories. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and past chairman of its Astrophysics Division, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), a member of the American Astronomical Society and past chairman of its High Energy Astrophysics Division, and a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society of London, amongst others. Dr Fazio is presently Senior Physicist at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
