About The Book
Cosmology by Hermann Bondi, first published in 1952 and reissued in this edition, provides an essential account of the early development of cosmology as a distinct branch of physics. Written by one of the proponents of the Steady State Theory, Bondi offers an insightful exploration of the key concepts that were shaping the field of cosmology in the mid-20th century.
The book covers a range of theories, including Newtonian cosmology, relativistic cosmology, and kinematic relativity, offering a valuable perspective on the scientific thought of that era, just as the term "Big Bang" was being coined. Bondi's detailed discussions provide a remarkable window into the history of cosmological thought, highlighting the intellectual debates and progress in the field during a critical period in science.
This volume is invaluable for those interested in the history of science, the development of cosmological theories, and the evolution of scientific ideas in the 20th century. It will be especially useful for students, scholars, and anyone intrigued by the progression of cosmological understanding.
