After the First Three Minutes: The Story of Our Universe by T. Padmanabhan (PDF)

Description

How does our Universe evolve? And how did structures like stars and galaxies form? In recent years, scientists’ understanding of these profound questions has developed enormously. This book presents a clear and detailed picture of contemporary cosmology for the general reader. Unlike existing popular books on cosmology, After the First Three Minutes does not gloss over details, nor shy away from explaining the underlying concepts. Instead, with a lucid and informal style, the author introduces all the relevant background and then carefully pieces together an engaging story of the evolution of our Universe. We are left with a state-of-the-art picture of scientists’ current understanding in cosmology, and a keen taste of the excitement of this fast-moving science. Throughout, no mathematics is used; and all technical jargon is clearly introduced and reinforced in a handy glossary at the end of the book. For general readers who want to get to grips with what we really do and don’t know about our Universe, this book provides an exciting and uncompromising read.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐True teachers want their students to understand their subject. Padmanabhan is a true teacher and he has taken the trouble to carefully and simply explain so that the motivated reader can understand. If you are not a professional astronomer and you really want to understand astronomy, buy this book. But don’t read it just once – read it again and again because each time you do, you will find your understanding of astronomy growing by leaps and bounds. When you do, you will catch a few minor flaws and typos but these are irrelevancies in what is a tremendous effort by a great teacher.

⭐The book focuses on the evolution of large structures in the universe. Many other topics are included to supplement/support the general theme.The biggest downfalls of the book are the writing and editing. It’s hard to believe this is a Cambridge University Press book. There are editorial and typographical mistakes. The writing is often repetitive and, sometimes, disorganized, or at least inconcise. I think that with good editorial help, this book could have been shorter and clearer.The figures are the strongest feature of the book. They appear to be very well thought out and are well executed.I learned things from this book. I guess that’s the bottom line.
