ASTRONOMERS UNIVERSE THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVE...

This book gives an accessible account of the history of the Universe  not only what happened 
but why it happened. An author of textbooks on the early Universe and inflation  David Lyth now
explains both cosmology and the underlying physics to the general reader. The book includes a
detailed account of the almost imperceptible structure in the early Universe  and its probable
origin as a quantum fluctuation during an early epoch known as the epoch of inflation. It also
explains how that early structure is visible now in the cosmic microwave radiation which is our
main source of information about the early Universe  and how it gave rise to galaxies and
stars. The main text of the book assumes no knowledge of mathematics or physics so that it is
accessible to everybody  while an appendix contains more advanced material. As a result the
book will be useful for a wide spectrum of readers  including high-school students 
undergraduates  postgraduates and professional physicists working in areas other than
cosmology. It will also serve as additional reading for university courses in general astronomy
astrophysics or cosmology itself.
