How old is our Universe? At what speed is our Universe expanding?
Is our universe flat or curved? How is the hierarchical structure
of the present Universe formed? The purpose of IAU Symposium 183 on
the Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the Universe was
to encourage a state-of-the-art discussion and assessment of
cosmology by putting together the latest observational data and
theoretical ideas on the evolution of the universe and cosmological
parameters. In this volume, excellent reviews on these subjects by
distinguished scientists are included. The first article by M.S.
Longair, `Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the
Universe: Progress and Prospect', is a magnificent general review
which can be understood by non-specialists. The other reviews
include Hubble Constants (W.L. Freedman, G.A. Tammann), Microwave
Background Radiation (R.B. Partridge, N. Sugiyama), Galaxy
Formation and Evolution (R.S. Ellis) and Alternative Cosmological
Models (J.V. Narlikar). In addition to the reviews, recent
observational and theoretical developments by outstanding active
scientists are included.
