- Summary:
- Astrophysics and cosmology are branches of physics that have existed from the first quantitative approaches to science, pioneered by Galileo Galilei. Presently these old sciences are enjoying a renaissance as new instruments enable us to obtain far more detailed informations from far more distant objects. This has made cosmology a quantitative science. The discoveries unfolding at the present time concerning the large scale structure in the Universe are, to my mind, the most exciting events in astrophysics, and certainly one of the most exciting scientific stories of this era. - from the Preface by the author.
