Thirteen physicists and astronomers, many of them Nobel Prize winners and directors of leading institutes, review the most important and timely issues in astrophysics today. The book stresses accomplishments of observational and theoretical work, and demonstrates how to unlock the secrets of the distant stars and galaxies by applying the basic principles of physics. Conflicting views and findings on important topics are pinpointed, thus revealing the inadequacy of our current understanding in these areas. The book also indicates possibilities for future research in the fast-paced field of modern astrophysics.
