by Anthony Lasenby (Editor), Althea Wilkinson (Editor)

The conference was held in August 2000, when the field of cosmology was just getting a toe-hold on a number of ideas that have since become more fully developed. The proceedings, then provide a historical snapshot of a turning point. Over 100 papers look at primordial cosmic microwave background observations and interpreting them, large scale structure, determining H0, dark matter, new observational approaches, and other themes. They are not indexed. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
