| Title | The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life : The Search for Our Cosmic Roots |
| Author(s) | Teerikorpi, Pekka;Valtonen, Mauri;Lehto, Kirsi;Lehto, Harry;Byrd, Gene;Chernin, Arthur |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XIX, 584 p. 258 illus., 34 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Regarding his discoveries, Sir Isaac Newton famously said, "If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life describes, complete with fascinating biographical details of the thinkers involved, a history of the universe as interpreted by the expanding body of knowledge of humankind. From subatomic particles to the protein chains that form life, and expanding in scale to the entire universe, this book covers the science that explains how we came to be. This book contains a great breadth of knowledge, from astronomy and physics to chemistry and biology. The second edition brings this story up to date, chronicling scientific achievements in recent years in such fields of research as cosmology, the large-scale architecture of the universe, black holes, exoplanets, and the search for extraterrestrial life. With over 250 figures, this is a non-technical, easy-to-read textbook at an introductory college level that is ideal for anyone interested in science as well as its history |

| Title | Fundamental Questions of Practical Cosmology : Exploring the Realm of Galaxies |
| Author(s) | Baryshev, Yurij;Teerikorpi, Pekka |
| Publication | Dordrecht, Springer Netherlands, 2012. |
| Description | XVI, 332 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book guides readers (astronomers, physicists, and university students) through central questions of Practical Cosmology, a term used by the late Allan Sandage to denote the modern scientific endeavor to find the cosmological model best describing the universe of galaxies, its geometry, size, age, and matter composition. The authors draw on their personal experience in astrophysics and cosmology to explain key concepts of cosmology, both observational and theoretical, and to highlight several items which give cosmology its special character. These highlighted items are: - Idiosyncratic features of the ???cosmic laboratory??? -??Malmquist bias in the determination of cosmic distances -??Theory of gravitation as a cornerstone of cosmological models -??Crucial tests for checking the reality of space expansion -??Methods of analyzing the structures of the universe as mapped by galaxies -????Usefulness of fractals as a model to describe the large-scale structure -??New cosmological physics inherent in the Friedmann world model |

| Title | The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life : The Search for Our Cosmic Roots |
| Author(s) | Teerikorpi, Pekka;Valtonen, Mauri;Lehto, K;Lehto, Harry;Byrd, Gene;Chernin, Arthur |
| Publication | New York, NY, Springer New York, 2009. |
| Description | XVII, 508 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Sir Isaac Newton famously said, regarding his discoveries, "If I have seen further it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life describes, complete with fascinating biographical details of the thinkers involved, the ascent to the metaphorical shoulders accomplished by the greatest minds in history. For the first time, a single book can take the reader on a journey through the history of the universe as interpreted by the expanding body of knowledge of humankind. From subatomic particles to the protein chains that form life, and expanding in scale to the entire universe, this book covers the science that explains how we came to be. The Evolving Universe and the Origin of Life contains a great breadth of knowledge, from astronomy to physics, from chemistry to biology. It includes over 350 figures that enhance the comprehension of concepts both basic and advanced, and is a non-technical, easy-to-read text at an introductory college level that is ideal for anyone interested in science as well as its history |
