At what speed is our Universe  expanding? Is our universe flat or curved? How is the hierarchical  structure of the present Universe formed? The purpose of IAU Symposium  183 on the Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the Universe  was to encourage a state-of-the-art discussion and assessment of  cosmology by putting together the latest observational data and  theoretical ideas on the evolution of the universe and cosmological  parameters. In this volume, excellent reviews on these subjects by  distinguished scientists are included. The first article by M.S.  Longair, `Cosmological Parameters and the Evolution of the Universe:  Progress and Prospect', is a magnificent general review which can be  understood by non-specialists. The other reviews include Hubble  Constants (W.L. Freedman, G.A. Tammann), Microwave Background  Radiation (R.B. Partridge, N. Sugiyama), Galaxy Formation and  Evolution (R.S. Ellis) and Alternative Cosmological Models (J.V.  Narlikar). In addition to the reviews, recent observational and  theoretical developments by outstanding active scientists are  included.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e31 January 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Netherlands\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780792354598\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e316\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50803437535372,"sku":"9780792354598","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792354598.jpg?v=1781752534","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792354598","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
