"This book is divided into four parts. The first part, 'Herschel's Garden, ' {aims to} give the reader an overview of the dynamic universe discovered by astronomers--the stars, white dwarfs, neutron stars, black holes, interstellar gas and dust, quasars, galaxies, their distribution in space as clustersand superclusters of galaxies, and the cosmos as a whole. ... The second part, 'The Early Universe, ' {seeks to} describe the ... picture of the universe...

Description
"A quantum field theory text for the twenty-first century, this book makes the essential tool of modern theoretical physics available to any student who has completed a course on quantum mechanics and is eager to go on." "Without a solid understanding of quantum field theory, no student can claim to have mastered contemporary theoretical physics. Offering a remarkably accessible conceptual introduction, this text will be widely welcomed and used."--Jacket....

Description
"As Kenneth W. Ford shows in The Quantum World, the laws governing the very small and the very swift defy common sense and stretch our minds to the limit. Drawing on a deep familiarity with the discoveries of the twentieth century, Ford gives an account of quantum physics that will help the serious reader make sense of a science that, for all its successes, remains mysterious."--Jacket.

Description
"General relativity flows from Einstein's field equations, which relate the mass and pressure in a region of spacetime to the "warping" of spacetime across that region. The field equations reveal how this warping is experienced by any observer, whether she is moving, accelerating, rotating, stretching, twisting, or tumbling. The field equations are wonderfully general. But this generality has a price: mathematical sophistication. The field equations...

Description
"It is a search for a view of the universe that unites two seemingly opposed pillars of modern science: Einstein's theory of general relativity, which deals with large scale phenomena like planets, solar systems and galaxies, and quantum theory, which deals with the world of the very small -- molecules, atoms and electrons. In the last few years, physicists have made big steps toward their goal of a completely new theory of space, time and the universe,...
