Examining the Big Bang and Diffuse Background Radiations
IAU Symposium No. 168, Examining the Big Bang and Diffuse Background Radiations, took place on August 23-26, 1994 at the XXIInd IAU General Assembly in the Hague, Netherlands. The meeting attracted a large number - over 250 - of astronomers, reflecting the strong interest engendered by the great advances in cosmology made in recent years. There is still a multitude of unresolved problems in modern cosmology and the symposium offered a wonderful occasion to examine them objectively, at a place where many leading workers in related fields gathered together. After the introduction by IAU President L. Woltjer and the historical background by Vice Present Virginia Trimble, the volume begins with ...
The Sounds of the Cosmos
The remarkable story of how humankind discovered gravitational waves, chronicled with unparalleled historical and scientific vision. In 2016, the LIGO and Virgo Collaborations made headlines when they announced the detection of gravitational waves—a century after Albert Einstein first predicted their existence with his general theory of relativity. With unprecedented perspective as physicists at the forefront of this discovery, Mario Díaz, Gabriela González, and Jorge Pullin provide a comprehensive and accessible account of the quest to find gravitational waves, their controversial history, and the efforts that culminated with their detection and a Nobel Prize in Physics. The Sounds of t...
The Evolution of Galaxies
Galaxies have a history. This has become clear from recent sky surveys showing that distant galaxies, formed early in the life of the Universe, differ from the nearby ones. This book contains the proceedings of a 2000 conference addressing observational clues in this area.

Tracing Cosmic Evolution with Galaxy Clusters
Annotation International astronomers provide an overview of multiwavelength studies of galaxy clusters including optical, X-ray to UV, near- and far-IR, sub-mm, and radio bands. The contributions emphasize two complementary aspects of clusters of galaxies: large-scale views that help trace the structure of the Universe, and enormous astrophysical laboratories that reveal the history of cosmic baryons and the processes of galaxy formation. Borgani and Mezzetti (both astronomy, U. of Trieste, Italy) edit topics including cluster formations of radio loud quasars, mass-to-light ratio of galaxy systems, and Butcher-Oemler effect in high redshift X-ray selected clusters. The volume has no subject index. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
