DescriptionCosmology - The Science of the Universe  Book Description: Cosmology: The Science of the Universe is a broad and elementary introduction to cosmology that includes aspects of its history, theology, and philosophy. The book explores the realm of receding galaxies, the fascinating properties of space and time, the bizarre world of black holes, the astonishing expansion of the universe, the elegant simplicity of cosmic redshifts, and the momentous issues of inflation. Its subjects cover modern views on the origin of atoms, galaxies, life, and the universe itself; they range from the subatomic to the extragalactic, from the beginning to the end of time, and from terrestrial to extraterrestrial life. Old problems (e.g., the cosmic-edge) are revived and new perplexities (e.g., the containment riddle) are reviewed. In this unique book, Professor Harrison shows how in every age societies devise universes that make sense of the human experience. He explores the cosmic scenery of the Babylonian, Pythagorean, Aristotelian, Stoic, Epicurean, Medieval, Cartesian, and Newtonian world systems and shows how these and other systems laid the foundations of the modern physical universe.
