TitleCosmology and controversy: The historical development of two theories of the universe
Author(s)Helge Kragh
PublicationPrinceton, Princeton University Press, 1999.
Descriptionxiii, 500p.
Abstract NoteBook presents the development of scientific cosmology for the first time as a historical evernt, one that embroiled many scientists in a controversy over the very notion of an evolving universe with a beginning in time. Helge Kragh examines how th big-bank theroy drew inspiration from and eventually triumphed over rival views, mainly the steady-state theory and its concept of a stationary universe of infinite age. By exploring the similarites and tensions between the theories, Kragh provides the reader with indispensable background for understanding much of today's commentary about our universe.

TitleDark matter problem: A historical perspective
Author(s)Robert H. Sanders
PublicationCambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010.
Descriptionviii, 205p.
Abstract NoteMost astronomers and physicists now believe that the matter content of the Universe is dominated by dark matter: hypothetical particles which interact with normal matter primarily through the force of gravity. Though invisible to current direct detection methods, dark matter can explain a variety of astronomical observations. This book describes how this theory has developed over the past 75 years, and why it is now a central feature of extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. Current attempts to directly detect dark matter locally are discussed, together with the implications for particle physics. The author comments on the sociology of these developments, demonstrating how and why scientists work and interact. Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), the leading alternative to this theory, is also presented. This fascinating overview will interest cosmologists, astronomers and particle physicists. Mathematics is kept to a minimum, so the book can be understood by non-specialists.
