5.0 out of 5 stars
Best single volume text for galaxy formation and the formation of structure,
By Utah Blaine (Somewhere on Trexalon in District 268) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Galaxy Formation (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library) (Hardcover)
This is an oustanding text on the physics of the formation of structure in the Universe. It is written at the level of a beginning graduate student in physics or astronomy, and will provide sufficient background for the student to begin serious research in this area. The text is well written and the topics well chosen. It was written in 1998, so it is already a bit dated (it obviously contains nothing about the most recent advances in dark energy), but all the basics are here. This explains what we know and what we don't know about how and why clusters and galaxies form, dark matter, and the Big Bang.
