Written in an accessible style  this unique book aims at describing the Nobel prize winning
works in astronomy to readers who only have a background of high school physics. It gives a
glimpse of the work done by those prize-winning astronomers at the forefront of research and
the state-of-the-art techniques used for that  to an interested reader. There have been 11
years when Nobel prizes in physics have been given to astronomers. These award-winning works
cover almost the entire subject of astronomy  starting from stellar structure all the way to
cosmology. The prizes have been divided in 7 categories which are described in 7 chapters. For
each prize a brief biography of the winner(s) is given first. The subject of the award is put
into context and the reader is reminded of all the basic concepts needed for understanding the
work before  finally  the prize-winning work is described. This enjoyable book will give the
interested reader an excellent overview of the highlights and development of astronomy of the
20th and early 21st century.
