Routledge Critical Dictionary of The New Cosmology , edited by Peter Coles. New York, NY, Routledge, 1999. Through Gravity's Lens 99 Part 2.
Cosmology is one of the more popularized fields in science.
The number of movies, books, and television programs dealing with topics such as black holes, wormholes, supernovas, and the big bang theory, have probably spawned more high school and college term papers than almost any other scientific discipline. The Routledge Critical Dictionary of the New Cosmology is an important new tool for providing information on these extremely complex topics in an authoritative, yet accessible style. This work is actually two books in one. The first 100 or so pages contain six essays on observations and experiments in modern cosmology written by experts in the field. The essay section contains articles outlining the history and significant milestones in modern cosmology, as well as developments that can be expected from new technological advances.
