How has the universe evolved? Astronomer and physicist Joseph Silk explores this and other questions of cosmology in this updated, paperback edition of his acclaimed "A Short History of the Universe." Silk shows how cosmologists study cosmic relics and construct theories of the universe's inception, its evolution, and its plausible future.

He also reports on one of science's most dramatic detective stories: the search for the missing matter that will determine the ultimate fate of the universe.
