Cosmology: The Science of the Universe is an introduction to past
and present cosmological theory. For much of the world's history,
cosmological thought was formulated in religious or philosophical
language and was thus theological or metaphysical in nature.
However, cosmological speculation and theory has now become a
science in which the empirical discoveries of the astronomer,
theoretical physicist, and biologist are woven into intricate
models that attempt to account for the universe as a whole.
Professor Harrison draws on the discoveries and speculations of
these scientists to provide a comprehensive survey of man's current
understanding of the universe and its history. Tracing the rise of
the scientific method, the major aim of this book is to provide an
elementary understanding of the physical universe of modern times.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this second edition extends the
much acclaimed first edition taking into account the many
developments that have occurred.
