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.
