We have just concluded a remarkable century: the 1917 publication
of Einstein's general theory of relativity, Carnegie astronomer
Edwin Hubble's 1929 discovery of the expansion of the universe,
evidence for the existence of dark matter, and the discovery of a
mysterious dark energy, which is causing the universe to speed up
its expansion. This comprehensive volume reviews the current theory
and measurement of various parameters related to the evolution of
the universe. Topics include inflation, string theory, the history
of cosmology in the context of current measurements being made of
the Hubble constant, the matter density, and dark energy, including
observational results from the Sloan, Digital Sky Survey, Keck,
Magellan, cosmic microwave background experiments, Hubble space
telescope and Chandra. With chapters by leading authorities in the
field, this book is a valuable resource for graduate students and
professional research astronomers.
