It's a discussion of what big picture astronomy looks like in about 2005; what has been observed of galaxy and star formation from the big bang onwards. Unusually, my complaint in this case was not with gee whiz science; there was mercifully little of that, and the author assumed his audience is literate enough about astronomy that he didn't have to waste time explaning the obvious. The problem was that the book is completely unstructured, like a bunch of magazine and newspaper pieces thrown together (which is what it may well be). There is no attempt to weave a single coherent narrative and place everything within that frame, and the book is much weaker as a result. Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
The author presents an account of the continuing efforts of astronomers to probe the outermost limits of the observable universe with the telescopes that promise to yield clues to many cosmic puzzles, including the nature of the mysterious dark energy that is now believed to pervade all of space.

The discussion of HUDF and ongoing research were well researched and offered some very nice insight into both the discoveries and difficulties encountered by astronomers. Galactic evolution and the tricky nature of dating distant objects by redshift are central to the book and offer a very interesting point of view for the intermediate astronomy reader. Four stars. ( )
