"The dominant figures of postwar astrophysical cosmology have been
the late Yakov Ze'ldovich, of Moscow, and Jim Peebles, of
Princeton. But running a close third in influence has been Joseph
Silk.... This collection is essential reading for the cosmological
enthusiast." Nature These essays represent Joseph Silk's own
meandering around cosmic themes. The topics span the beginning of
time until its end and encompass the enigma of the evolution of
large-scale structure, culminating in the formation of the
galaxies. Dr. Silk has taken these writings from pieces written
over the years, many commissioned to highlight a new look at a new
discovery in cosmology. Some have been rewritten to capture a
modern perspective while others remain as written to encapsulate
his thoughts of a decade ago.
