Towards the Edge of the Universe is the second edition of a successful textbook previously published by Wiley-Praxis. It reviews the latest discoveries and ideas, discusses areas of controversy, and presents a variety of observational data in a way suitable as an introduction to cosmology for university students studying the following courses: Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology, Particle Physics, Theoretical Physics and Space Science.

The author considers contemporary views of cosmology—describing the Big Bang model (its problems as well as its usefulness)—and begins a comprehensive account of the universe and its components, providing a sound introduction for the student. A generally descriptive, rather than purely mathematical, approach makes the book accessible to all levels of students and enthusiasts.
