The Cosmic Web begins with modern pioneers of extragalactic astronomy, such as Edwin Hubble and Fritz Zwicky. It goes on to describe how, during the Cold War, the American school of cosmology favored a model of the universe where galaxies resided in isolated clusters, whereas the Soviet school favored a honeycomb pattern of galaxies punctuated by giant, isolated voids. Gott tells the stories of how his own path to a solution began with a high-...

Che Guevaräs death began a legend and closed an era. Based directly on the documents produced by the guerrillas themselves, this is the first comprehensive history of that era. In theory, immense disparity in local wealth combined with the heavy hand of "Yankee imperialism" laid the ground for revolution. In practice, however, circumstances conspired to thwart the plans of the revolutionary guerrillas. The Latin American Left was, and remains,...

La Via Lattea ha circa 300 miliardi di stelle. Si fa già fatica a immaginare un numero così elevato, eppure da tempo sappiamo anche che la nostra non è che una delle innumerevoli galassie presenti nell'universo. Di fronte a numeri di questa impensabile enormità la mente vacilla, ma non è che l'inizio della storia di questo libro. J. Richard Gott è stato uno dei primi cosmologi a proporre un modello nel quale la struttura del nostro universo so...

The basic understanding which underlies scientific evidence - ideas such as the structure of experiments, causality, repeatability, validity and reliability- is not straightforward. But these ideas are needed to judge evidence in school science, in physics or chemistry or biology or psychology, in undergraduate science, and in understanding everyday issues to do with science. It is essential to be able to be critical of scientific evidence. ...

From Ireland to India, Australia to America, Gott illuminates all-but-forgotten stories excluded from traditional accounts.

J. Richard Gott was among the first cosmologists to propose that the structure of our universe is like a sponge made up of clusters of galaxies intricately connected by filaments of galaxies--a magnificent structure now called the "cosmic web" and mapped extensively by teams of astronomers. Here is his gripping insider's account of how a generation of undaunted theorists and observers solved the mystery of the architecture of our cosmos. Gott ...
