THEORETICAL COSMOLOGY
Written by A.K. Raychaudhuri.
Stock no. 686770
Published by Oxford University Press. 1st 1979. Very good condition.

Thus while evidences of the microwave background radiation and the abundances of deuteron and helium as bringing support for the standard big bang cosmology are dealt with in fair details, the unsolved puzzle of some apparently anomalous red shifts and the tendency towards a negative parameter also receive attention... Blue cloth boards, gilt title to spine. x and 298 pages including index. ISBN: 019851462X. Spine faded. Text block browned. Contents clean.
