Cosmology can claim to be the ultimate science: it deals with the origin
and fate of absolutely everything. The Icon Critical Dictionary of the New
Cosmology may not be the ultimate book on the topic, but it deals with all the
important ideas, from inflation to dark matter, and string theory to
supersymmetry, gravity waves to cosmic ripples. It’s ideal for students and
professionals wanting an overview of the subject, but perhaps a little hard for
the general reader. Edited by Peter Coles, Icon Books, £14.99, ISBN 1874166641.
