Weinberg's Cosmology has come out and in fact I have it! Bought it from amazon.com...Reviewed it too!
Get it !
Get it !
It was released in the UK at the end of last month.mgb_phys said:Odd - it's still listed as pre-order for june on amazon.com - you haven't been playing with that time machine again have you?
Yes, I'd say it was a graduate level book, but I think it's more of a Cosmology book than a GR book. I've not looked at it (since I've not found a bookshop that stocks it, and it's a bit too pricey to buy blind)) but I imagine it requires a firm background in GR.ps. This is a graduate level GR class book right? Not like the "first three minutes".
I was only joking, don't take it too seriously! Thanks for letting us know, anyway.superpoincare said:Cristo... seriously asking me about commisions... mmm.. nope man .. I am a big Weinberg fan... I have read most parts of the quantum field theory texts... I am no longer in Physics (dropped out) and just wanted to share the excitement with some physicists...
Yea, tell me about it! Still, it is published by Oxford University Press, so it's only fair we get it first.mgb_phys said:Thanks, Odd that it was published in the UK first - we normally have to wait an extra month for anything that isn't Harry Potter!
The main subject of Weinberg's book is the history and development of science, with a focus on the contributions of various scientists and their impact on the world.
The target audience for this book is anyone interested in the history of science, from students to professionals in the field.
Yes, while the book does discuss scientific concepts, it is written in a way that is accessible to non-scientists and does not require a deep understanding of science to appreciate.
Weinberg's Book is unique in its focus on the impact of science on society and its exploration of the ethical and moral implications of scientific discoveries.
While the main focus of the book is on the history of science, it does touch on some recent developments and their potential impact on the future of science and society.
