The twentieth-century witnessed the development of astrophysics and
cosmology from subjects which scarcely existed to two of the most
exciting and demanding areas of contemporary scientific inquiry. In
this book Malcolm Longair reviews the historical development of the
key areas of modern astrophysics, linking the strands together to
show how they have led to the extraordinarily rich panorama of
modern astrophysics and cosmology. While many of the great
discoveries were derived from pioneering observations, the emphasis
is upon the development of theoretical concepts and how they came
to be accepted. These advances have led astrophysicists and
cosmologists to ask some of the deepest questions about the nature
of our Universe and have pushed astronomical observations to the
very limit. This is a fantastic story, and one which would have
defied the imaginations of even the greatest story-tellers.
