Our Universe
Autor Jo Dunkleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2020
"[A] luminous guide to the cosmos...Jo Dunkley swoops from Earth to the observable limits, then explores stellar life cycles, dark matter, cosmic evolution and the soup-to-nuts history of the Universe."
--Nature "A grand tour of space and time, from our nearest planetary neighbors to the edge of the observable Universe...If you feel like refreshing your background knowledge...this little gem certainly won't disappoint."
--Govert Schilling, BBC Sky at Night Most of us have heard of black holes and supernovas, galaxies and the Big Bang. But few understand more than the bare facts about the universe we call home. What is really out there? How did it all begin? Where are we going? Jo Dunkley begins in Earth's neighborhood, explaining the nature of the Solar System, the stars in our night sky, and the Milky Way. She traces the evolution of the universe from the Big Bang fourteen billion years ago, past the birth of the Sun and our planets, to today and beyond. She then explains cutting-edge debates about such perplexing phenomena as the accelerating expansion of the universe and the possibility that our universe is only one of many. Our Universe conveys with authority and grace the thrill of scientific discovery and a contagious enthusiasm for the endless wonders of space-time.

Recenzii
Dunkley
must
be
one
of
the
youngest
and
brainiest
female
astrophysics
professors
on
the
planet...
As
Professor
of
Physics
and
Astrophysical
Sciences
at
Princeton
University,
Dunkley
researches
the
history
of
the
universe,
how
space
is
changing,
what
stars
are
made
of
and
the
nature
of
dark
matter.
Her
book
is
an
attempt
to
simplify
this
enormously
complex
subject
and,
written
in
a
stylenotunlike

Thisluminous guide to the cosmosencapsulates myriad discoveries. Astrophysicist Jo Dunkley swoops from Earth to the observable limits, then explores stellar life cycles, dark matter, cosmic evolution and the soup-to-nuts history of the Universe. No less a thrill are her accounts of tenth-century Persian astronomer Abd al-Rahman al-Sufi, twentieth- and twenty-first-century researchers Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, Jocelyn Bell Burnell and Vera Rubin, and many more.
Dunkley isa natural communicatorand her book isa model of clarity
Jo Dunkley is an internationally acclaimed cosmologist. She is also a fine expositor, and thisbook splendidly conveys what we've learnt about the universe,and the exhilarating progress we can expect in coming decades.
A clear and comprehensible account of astronomers' current theories of the solar system and the universe.Authoritative, informative, and elegantly written.
This book issimply superb- beautifully written and very clear. It incorporates all the major recent results, and indicates what might come from telescopes now being built.
Dunkley takes us onan electrifying journey through our universe, elegantly weaving together history and the latest scientific discoveries. On her way, she subtly restores all the forgotten women scientists to their rightful places in what has been a male-dominated story until now.
A grand overview of modern cosmology from one of the leaders in the field.Dunkley guides us through astronomical history, at every stage explaining the twists and turns and surprises, right up to the most recent discoveries. Readers will have a real appreciation of the most exciting developments in astrophysics of the last millennium, the last century, and the last year.
Jo Dunkley is an amiable guide to the universe, but there's no dawdling in this fast-paced tour. This slender volumewhisks you from our own blue marble out to the edge of the universe and the beginning of time. Dunkley is especially good at explaining how the whispers from the Big Bang itself tell us about dark matter and dark energy and hint at its explosive origin in cosmic inflation.
A clear and comprehensible account of astronomers' current theories of the solar system and the universe.Authoritative, informative, and elegantly written. The simple analogies are especially engaging.
