Review: THIS BOOK IS GREAT! - I found AN INTRODUCTION TO GALAXIES AND COSMOLOGY to be an excellent book! It is especially geared to a person who wants more than just a superficial description of this branch of astronomy and yet it avoids complex mathematics making it perfect for a person who does not need to see the mathematical step-by-step development of all the equations involved in the topic. The book consists of 2 parts: Part 1 (Chapters 1-4) has a detailed discussion of the structures of our own Milky Way Galaxy and goes on to introduce normal and active galaxies. Part 2 (Chapters 5-8) gets into the wide range of Cosmological Models and discusses the Big Bang and expansion of the Universe. Chapter titles are: Ch1 The Milky Way-Our Galaxy Ch2 Normal Galaxies Ch3 Active Galaxies Ch4 The Spacial Distribution of Galaxies Ch5 Introducing Cosmology-The Science of the Universe Ch6 Big Bang Cosmology Ch7 Observational Cosmology- Measuring the Universe Ch8 Questioning Cosmology- Problems About the Universe Although the book avoids showing the complex mathematics behind important formulas, it does not neglect showing many formulas and gives student exercises using them to calculate various important quantities. Full solutions to each one are given in the back of the book. The book correctly advertises itself as being understandable to anyone who has completed beginning undergraduate physics courses. The book does not require calculus in its problem solving. I highly recommend it! Review: Perfect! - Very useful, full course of the Galaxies evolution and Cosmology. I strongly recommend it to anyone who are interesting in this topic. ## Features - Cambridge - open university - Cambridge - Open University ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 42 Reviews | ## Images ![An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91LBkTixs4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THIS BOOK IS GREAT! *by B***A on 6 May 2022* I found AN INTRODUCTION TO GALAXIES AND COSMOLOGY to be an excellent book!

I strongly recommend it to anyone who are interesting in this topic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful *by S***D on 20 March 2021* Captivating and well written, great level of detail (compared to many texts you can find on market). I did truly appreciate the description of the Milky Way and of the galaxies in the universe, never found anywhere else in such detail. (I'm not an astronomy student, I'm just an interested reader with some physical and matemathical background from scientific studies some thirty years ago...) ## Frequently Bought Together - An Introduction to Galaxies and Cosmology - An Introduction to the Sun and Stars --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/363897540-an-introduction-to-galaxies-and-cosmology](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/363897540-an-introduction-to-galaxies-and-cosmology) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
