Spectacular observational breakthroughs by recent experiments, and
particularly the WMAP satellite, have heralded a new epoch of CMB
science forty years after its original discovery. Taking a physical
approach, the authors probe the problem of the ???darkness??? of
the Universe: the origin and evolution of dark energy and matter in
the cosmos. Starting with the observational background of modern
cosmology, they provide an up-to-date and accessible review of this
fascinating yet complex subject. Topics discussed include the
kinetics of the electromagnetic radiation in the Universe, the
ionization history of cosmic plasmas, the origin of primordial
perturbations in light of the inflation paradigm, and the formation
of anisotropy and polarization of the CMB. This timely and
accessible review will be valuable to advanced students and
researchers in cosmology. The text highlights the progress made by
recent experiments, including the WMAP satellite, and looks ahead
to future CMB experiments.
