Cosmology: A Very Short Introduction
a fast track through the history of our endlessly fascinating Universe,
from then to now
J. D. Barrow, Cambridge University
In a clear and elegant style, Coles succeeds in conveying the gist of some of the deepest concepts in Physics that underlie our understanding of the cosmos. This concise, yet up-to-date, account of cosmic history makes for compelling reading for anyone who has ever wondered about how our universe works.
Carlos Frenk, University of Durham
presents a wonderfully broad range of concepts in a clear and readable way [and] gives a vivid picture of the confusion and excitement of research in progress.
P. J. E. Peebles, Princeton University
