Unfolding Our Universe is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to astronomy. With a clear, crisp text and beautiful colour illustrations, it takes readers to the heart of the Universe - explaining the facts, concepts, methods and frontiers of astronomical science. The book can be read right through without referring to any mathematics. For the more ambitious reader, key points are developed in more detail and basic mathematics provided in self-contained boxes. A unique feature of Unfolding Our Universe is the careful balance it strikes between the basics of the subject and its frontiers. Step by step, it carefully assembles a complete understanding of astronomy. Full colour throughout and a very readable text make this book a delight for the casual reader to browse, while the clear and concise explanations will appeal to amateur astronomers, science teachers and college and university students seeking a no-nonsense introduction to astronomy.

This is a collection of twenty outstanding lectures ranging across the most active areas of astronomical research. In the series distinguished scientists, mostly British and American, and including three Nobel Laureates, present their work and perspectives on current developments.The lecturesthemselves vary in length and content, and while they invite scrutiny by the specialist, the bulk of the material is well within the reach of a third year undergraduate. The originality of thought, which is presented in vibrant and sometimes controversial terms, makes the Lectures a unique recordof trends in astrophysics during the last two decades.

This discussion resulted from a dialogue which began some seven years ago between a physicist who specializes in astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum theory, and a student of cultural history who had done post-doctoral work in the history and philosophy of science. Both of us at that time were awaiting the results of some experiments being conducted under the direction of the physicist Alain Aspect at the University of Paris-South. ! The experiments were the last in a series designed to test some predictions based on a mathematical 2 theorem published in 1964 by John Bell. There was no expectation that the results of these experiments would provide the basis for developing new technologies. The questions which the experiments were designed to answer concerned the relation ship between physical reality and physical theory in the branch of physics known as quantum mechanics. Like most questions raised by physicists which lead to startling new insights, they were disarmingly simple and direct. Is quantum physics, asked Bell, a self-consistent theory whose predictions would hold in a new class of experiments, or would the results reveal that the apparent challenges of quantum physics to the understanding in classical physics of the relationship between physical theory and physical reality were merely illusory? Answering this question in actual experiments could also, suggested Bell, lead to another, quite dramatic, result.

Excerpt from The Unfolding Universe What is the universe of which we are a part? What is its meaning? What is our life, and whence, and whither? These questions are perennials; they spring up year after year without our planting. Not so with the answers. Man must wring them from a reluctant Nature by the sweat of his brow. This book attempts to sketch the contributions made by the various sciences toward a philosophy of the universe. It grows out of the conviction, to which philosophy has been strangely blind, that the inductive method is the only method of thinking which is reliable or fruitful. Scientific study has opened up the rich fields of modern thought by driving observation and hypothesis abreast. Why should science have a monopoly of such a team? I offer this book as the outline of an inductive philosophy. The task of the sciences is to gather facts in their respective fields. The function of philosophy is supposed to be to interpret those facts and arrange them into a consistent whole. If philosophy is in bad repute in many quarters, it is because she has forgotten her place as the handmaid of the sciences.
