Description

While scientific literature on modern cosmology is vast, finding scholarly works on its historical development can be difficult. The Oxford Handbook of the History of Modern Cosmology by Oxford University Press fills this gap by providing a comprehensive and authoritative account of how our understanding of the universe has evolved. This book covers the history of cosmology from the late nineteenth century through to the early twenty-first century. It offers the necessary historical background to understand current cosmic knowledge, tracing the path from early theories to modern discoveries. Readers will explore the major milestones of the field, including the prominent Big Bang theory and the defunct steady state theory. By examining both the major successes and the many false starts in the field, this handbook provides a complete perspective on the development of cosmological thought. It is an essential resource for those looking to understand the historical foundations of astronomy and space science.
