This is the second in a series of extrordinary books in which S. Alan Stern has brough together leading space scientists to describe their work. The first of these, our worlds. lloked at the faraway worlds of our solar system, bus in new book we leave our sun behind to explore the vastness of th universe itself.
This accessible and wonderfully illustrated book has been writfenby some of the world's foremost astrophysicists. Some are theorists, some computational modellers, some oberservers, but all provide deep insight into the most cutting-edge, difficult, and bizarre topics of all astrophysics.
book also gives unique perspectives on what drives these extraordinary, talented scientists and how their careers and very lives have been shaped by a burning desire to understand our universe. |

| Title | Masks of the universe: Changing ideas on the nature of the cosmos |
| Author(s) | Edward Harrison |
| Edition | 2nd |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2003. |
| Description | xi, 331p. |
| Abstract Note | To the ancient Greeks the universe consisted of earth, air, fire, and water. To Saint Augustine it was the Word of God. To many modern scientists it is the dance of atoms and waves, and in years to come it may be different again. What then is the real Universe? History shows that in every age each society constructs its own universe, believing it to be the real and final Universe. Yet each universe is only a model or mask of the unknown Universe. Originally published in 2003, this book brings together fundamental scientific, philosophical, and religious issues in cosmology, raising thought-provoking questions. In every age people have pitied the universes of their ancestors, convinced that they have at last discovered the ultimate truth. Does the modern model stand at the threshold of discovering everything, or will it, like all the rest, come to be pitied? |

| Title | Book of Universes |
| Author(s) | John D. Barrow |
| Publication | London, Bodley Head, 2011. |
| Description | xiv, 354p. |
| Abstract Note | This is a book about universes. It tells a story that revolves around a single extraordinary fact: that Albert Einsteinâs famous theory of relativity describes a series of entire universes. Not many solutions to Einsteinâs tantalising universe equations have ever been found, but those that have are all remarkable. Some describe universes that expand in size, while others contract. Some rotate like a top, while others are chaotically unpredictable. Some are perfectly smooth, while others are lumpy. Some permit time travel into the past. Only a few allow life to evolve within them; the rest, if they exist, remain unknown and unknowable to conscious minds.Our story will encounter universes where the laws of physics can change from time to time and from one region to another, universes that have extra hidden dimensions of space and time, universes that are eternal, universes that live inside black holes, universes that end without warning, colliding universes, inflationary universes, and universes that come into being from something else â or from nothing at all.Gradually, we are introduced to the latest and the best descriptions of the Universe as we understand it today, together with the concept of the âMultiverseâ â the universe of all possible universes â that modern theories of physics lead us to contemplate. Here, in The Book of Universes, we are confronted with the most fantastic and far-reaching speculations within the entire realm of science. |
