Beschreibung
In this fascinating book, the reader is offered a selection of papers summarizing the unique contribution to modern cosmology of the Soviet school, led by the late Ya.B. Zeldovich. The first three articles in this selection introduce the general reader to the underlying theories of cosmology: the birth and expansion of the universe, matter and antimatter. The remaining five contributions are review papers offering the more advanced reader a deeper understanding of the structure of the universe, cosmological field theory, microwave background radiation and galactic distribution. This balance of introductory and advanced papers makes My Universe a work of value for graduate students entering the field, for research workers expanding their knowledge, and for the layman seeking an insight into one of the most important subjects of the twentieth century.
