Cosmology - the study of the universe as a whole - is in the midst of a scientific revolution, and what is emerging is humanity's first understanding of the universe that might actually be true. THE VIEW FROM THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE, by Physics professor Joel Primack and lecturer Nancy Abrams, to be published April 6, presents new ways of wrapping our minds around the universe, and does so without math or jargon. The book grew out of Physics 80C, "Cosmology and Culture," which the authors have been teaching at UCSC for the past decade. [More]
