Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Beginning with a clear, nontechnical discussion of both the "special" and "general" theories of relativity, astrophysicist Chaisson explores their theoretical and experimental bases and what these say about the origin and structure of the universe. He examines very large issues: cosmological foundations of the universe, the various "models" of the universe, and black holes. This is not an arbitrary potpourri of interesting topics, but an integrated, coherent discussion. Lively, readable, and informed, this belongs in most public libraries. Robert Paul, Dickinson Coll., Carlisle, Pa.
