First published in 1988 In Darkness Born brings together diverse
work from many different branches of astronomy and shows clearly
the synthesis of ideas that has resulted. The book presents the
basic physical and astronomical ideas that are adequate for the lay
reader to grasp the nature of our galaxy and to understand the way
in which it formed. These basic concepts are used to develop a
theoretical picture of how stars are born from giant clouds of gas
and dust, and to understand the evidence from optical, radio,
X-ray, ultraviolet and infrared observation. Martin Cohen is a
recognised authority in this field. His knowledge and lucid style
have resulted in a book which provides a stimulating introduction
to most of the major concepts of astronomy. Any reader who prefers
to grasp these concepts and ideas without tangling with theory and
equations will find this a fascinating and illuminating book.
