Recensione

"At last, there is a comprehensive book on the cosmic microwave background radiation (CBR). What's more, it's a good one. Bruce Partridge's 3K: The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation contains everything you need to get a solid foundation in this exciting and rapidly growing field. One of the pioneers, Partridge is still active in wrestling secrets from the CBR. His book summarizes the theoretical framework in which to interpret the measurements and gives a detailed account of the instrumentation and observations. It is clear, informative, and fun to read....Partridge has written a book that will be relevant for years to come." Lyman Page, American Journal of Physics

"After 30 years, the cosmic background radiation remains the most promising probe of the early universe. Over the next ten years, startling claims will emerge from the CBR community. Estimates of the Hubble constant, curvature of the universe, and cosmological constant accurate to a few percent will be made. For both the people making these claims and those attempting to understand their validity, this book will be an essential resource." Scott Dodelson, Science

Descrizione del libro

What processes fixed the designs etched on the cosmic background radiation (CBR)? And what can they tell us about the early Universe and the origin and evolution of cosmic structure? This review covers all aspects of the study of this remnant of the hot Big Bang origin of the Universe, and examines the consequences for astrophysics, cosmology and theories of the evolution of large-scale cosmic structure.
