Advance Praise for The Accelerating Universe
""""The Accelerating Universe"" is not only an informative book
about modern cosmology. It is rich storytelling and, above all, a
celebration of the human mind in its quest for beauty in all
things.""
--Alan Lightman, author of Einstein's Dreams
""This is a wonderfully lucid account of the extraordinary
discoveries that have made the last years a golden period for
observational cosmology. But Mario Livio has not only given the
reader one clear explanation after another of what astronomers are
up to, he has used them to construct a provocative argument for the
importance of aesthetics in the development of science and for the
inseparability of science, art, and culture.""
--Lee Smolin, author of ""The Life of the Cosmos""
""What a pleasure to read An exciting, simple account of the
universe revealed by modern astronomy. Beautifully written, clearly
presented, informed by scientific and philosophical
insights.""
--John Bahcall, Institute for Advanced Study
""A book with charm, beauty, elegance, and importance. As
authoritative a journey as can be taken through modern
cosmology.""
--Allan Sandage, Observatories of the Carnegie Institution of
Washington
