The Little Book of Cosmology by Lyman Page
The cutting-edge science that is taking the measure of the universe.
"One of BBC Science Focus Magazine's Best Books of 2020"
"A nice little book for those who have some knowledge of the subject"---Laura Nuttall, BBC Sky at Night Magazine
"This ranks alongside Steven Weinberg’s The First Three Minutes as the best book on cosmology I have read. A compact treasure-trove of cosmic insights to be read, mulled over, and read again."---Marcus Chown, BBC Science Focus Magazine
"[An] enthusiastic and approachable survey of the state of cosmology today. . . . It’s got to be the best, most up-to-date, “little” introduction to cosmology."---David Appell, Physics World
"Books like this one help to perform a valuable role in making these discoveries accessible and understandable to a wider audience."---Simon Cocking, Irish Tech News
"It’s no small feat, trying to describe the Universe in 152 pages. But the very aptly named Little Book of Cosmology takes this task head-on, by stripping the narrative down to its bare essentials." * Nature Astronomy *
"[The Little Book of Cosmology] provides a good high-level overview of our current knowledge of cosmology, without warping spacetime or a bookshelf."---Jeff Foust, The Space Review
