The publisher's blurb reads: ''Using modern instruments such as the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe, astronomers have access to information about the age and composition of the universe. By producing such exact results, high-resolution satellite data and novel telescopic techniques have transformed one of science's most speculative fields into a triumph of meticulous and rigorous detection Yet, as the tools grow, as we are able to see farther rand know more, we find that we have even more questions. Featuring interviews with leaders in the field as well as thought-provoking descriptions of their work, this is a guided tour of current advances and controversies in cosmology.''
