The Templeton Science and Religion Series is edited by J. Wentzel van Huyssteen and Khalil Chamcham. The editors in the series have comissioned scientists in a wide range of fields to distill their experience and knowledge into brief tours of their respective specialties. Books in the series feature topics central to the science and religion dialogue and are written by scholars known to be the foremost authorities in their field.
Horizons of Cosmology: Exploring Worlds Seen and Unseen is the fourth title published in the Templeton Science and Religion Series. In this volume, highly esteemed astrophysicist Joseph Silk explores the vast mysteries and speculations of the field of cosmology in a way that balances an accessible style for the general reader and enough technical detail for advanced students and professionals.
If you want to plunge into the complex and intriguing issues that engage modern cosmologists, rather than skim the surface of easy description, take this journey with Joseph Silk, who will lead you on a tour through dark matter, dark energy, black holes, galaxy formation, and the inflating and accelerating universe.
