Editorial Reviews
Review

""This book combines in a remarkable way the early history of physical cosmology with an account of the development of this subject in the twentieth century."" -- I. Bernard Cohen

""The authors have chosen to follow the history of cosmological ideas from ancient to modern times at a level suitable for non-specialist college courses and general reading...Yet, the clarity of presentation and the engaging style make this an enjoyable book for any scientist to read."" -- Nature

Book Description

Durham and Purrington approach the history of the universe by exploring the frontiers of physics, while maintaining a long-standing interest in astronomy and cosmology. They stress that man can not fully understand himself until he understands the universe, of which he is a part.
