Cosmological Koans - Anthony Aguirre Kartoniert (TB)

Dieses Buch ist eine wahre Perle für jeden Astronomieinteressierten und bietet eine tiefgründige und wunderschön geschriebene Darstellung der kosmologischen Konzepte. Obwohl es sehr anspruchsvoll ist, lohnt sich die Lektüre für alle, die sich für das Universum interessieren.

Be aware that you will need a lot of knowledge in maths and physics equations and formulae to follow the arguments in the book. The concept is good, even brilliant, but the delivery is flawed for those not fully versed in these disciplines. Anyone who does not immediately understand the many times that hard maths and physics are used to explain a concept will find it hard to follow what point the book is making about that concept. This is because the clear explanatory link between formulae and concept is usually missing. We leap too often direct from equations to conclusions. The graphics throughout the book, which might have helped more in providing the link, are disappointingly unclear and vague. Even the graphics font used appears to be chosen to prevent clarity rather than enhance it. Probably three stars for the expert reader but one only for the general, intelligent reader, hence the compromise of two.
