| Title | Edge of the sky: All You Need to Know About the All-Three-Is |
| Author(s) | Roberto Trotta |
| Publication | New York, Basic Books, 2014. |
| Description | 85p. |
| Abstract Note | From the big bang to black holes, from dark matter to dark energy, from the origins of the universe to its ultimate destiny, The Edge of the Sky tells the story of the most important discoveries and mysteries in modern cosmology--with a twist. The book's lexicon is limited to the thousand most common words in the English language, excluding physics, energy, galaxy, or even universe. Through the eyes of a fictional scientist (Student-People) hunting for dark matter with one of the biggest telescopes (Big-Seers) on Earth (Home-World), cosmologist Roberto Trotta explores the most important ideas about our universe (All-there-is) in language simple enough for anyone to understand. A unique blend of literary experimentation and science popularization, this delightful book is a perfect gift for any aspiring astronomer. The Edge of the Sky tells the story of the universe on a human scale, and the result is out of this world. |

| Title | Dark Energy and Dark Matter in the Universe Vol. 1: Dark Energy: Observational evidence and theoretical models |
| Author(s) | V. Shulga (ed.) |
| Publication | Kyiv, 1. Akademperiodyka
2. KYIV AKADEMPERIODYKA, 2013. |
| Description | 375p. |
| Abstract Note | This book elucidates the current state of the dark energy problem and presents the results of the authors, who work in this area. It describes the observational evidence for the existence of dark energy, the methods and results of constraining of its parameters, modeling of dark energy by scalar fields, the space-times with extra spatial dimentsions, especially Kaluza-Klein models, the braneworld modles with a single extra dimension as well as the problems of positive definition of gravitational energy in General Relativity, energy conditions and consequences of their violation in the presence of dark energy.
This monograph is intended for science professionals, educators and graduate students, specializing in general relativity, cosmology, field theory and particle physics. |

| Title | Universe unveiled: The Cosmos in My Bubble Bath |
| Author(s) | C. V. Vishveshwara |
| Publication | Cham, Springer, 2015. |
| Description | xiv, 243p. |
| Abstract Note | The bubbles were swirling all around me, massaging my body. As I luxuriated in this fantastic bath, I gasped realizing that those bubbles carried with them miniature galaxies bringing the entire Cosmos into my bathtub...
Alfie is back. And so are George and other characters from the authorâs previous book Einsteinâs Enigma or Black Holes in My Bubble Bath. While the present book, Universe Unveiled - The Cosmos in My Bubble Bath, is completely independent, its storyline can be considered a sequel to the previous one. The scientific content spanning ancient world models to the most recent mysteries of cosmology is presented in an entirely nontechnical and descriptive style through the discussions between Alfie, the enlightened learner, and George, professor of astrophysics. Fantasies, based on these discussions that cover the scientific facts, are created by the magical bubble baths taken by Alfie.
Universe Unveiled blends accurate science with philosophy, drama, humour, and fantasy to create an exciting cosmic journey that reads like a novel and educates as it entertains. |

| Title | Cosmic paradoxes |
| Author(s) | Julio A. Gonzalo |
| Publication | Singapore, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2011. |
| Description | xxi, 134p. |
| Abstract Note | Beginning with the famous Olber's paradox, a number of cosmological paradoxes, such as the missing mass, dark energy, and the baryon-to-photon ratio, have been and are today the subject of many scientific controversies. The Big Bang model, anticipated by Lemaitre in 1927 and reformulated twenty years later by Gamow, Alpher and Herman, is one of the most spectacular successes in the entire history of physics. It remains today surrounded by considerable theoretical speculation without sufficient observational support.
This book discusses such paradoxes in depth with physical and logical content and historical perspective, and has not too technical content in order to serve a wide audience. |

| Title | How It ends: From you to the universe |
| Author(s) | Chris Impey |
| Publication | New York, W. W. Norton & Company, 2011. |
| Description | 352p. |
| Abstract Note | The fascinating science behind the eventual end to everything-from the individual to all existence.
Although we may try to keep it tucked at the back of our minds, most of us are aware of our own mortality. But few among us know what science, with the help of insights yielded from groundbreaking new research, has to say about death on a larger scale. Enter astronomer Chris Impey, who chronicles the death of the whole shebang: individual, species, biosphere, earth, sun, Milky Way, and, finally, the entire universe.
With a healthy dose of humor, How It Ends illuminates everything from the technologies of human life extension and the evolutionary arms race between microbes and men to the inescapable dimming of the sun and the ultimate "big rip," giving us a rare glimpse into a universe without us |
