Open publisher page 57 citations

Abstract

Michael Berry London: Cambridge University Press 1976 pp x + 179 price £7 ( cased ), £2.50 ( paperback ) Cosmology has been one of the abiding fascinations of mankind since the earliest civilizations while recent dramatic discoveries in astronomy have led to a renewed interest in gravitational studies. Books dealing with such topics, however, have almost invariably been either oversimplified popular accounts or advanced technical treatments for specialists.
