The Big Bang : Third Edition

Rating:
Summary: True Cosmology Textbook.
Review: I am quite sure, that there is no better summary of Big Bang than Joseph Silk's text. I classify it on the border, between popular and science book but a bit more as a scientific (more for studying then for reading).
If student wants to learn how astronomy has been used to develop this most important and crucial cosmological theory, she/he should not miss this book. It creates exclusion for books by Hubert Reeves, Robert Kirshner, George Smoot, Igor Novikov, Martin Rees, Alan Guth and Donald Goldsmith (please refer to my Listomania List).
Highly recommended!
