This volume records the latest experimental and theoretical results on anisotropies in the cosmic microwave background (CMB). The book begins with a survey article describing the main observational issues, and in which the current COBE DMR whole-sky anisotropy data — now dramatically visible above the noise — are displayed. Results and analyses by the MAX, Python, MSAM, White Dish and South Pole groups, amongst others, are included. The theoretical implications of these results for cosmological scenarios are explored. The workshop also included a discussion of how the interplay between theory and experiment can best be enhanced.

This comprehensive volume reviews the current theory and measurement of various parameters related to the evolution of the universe. Topics include inflation, string theory and the history of cosmology in the context of current measurements being made of the Hubble constant, matter density, and dark energy. Observational results are included from the Sloan, Digital Sky Survey, Keck, Magellan, cosmic microwave background experiments, Hubble space telescope and Chandra. Featuring chapters by leading authorities in the field, this book is a valuable resource for graduate students and professional research astronomers.

This volume is a collection of scholarly articles on the Mach Principle, the impact that this theory has had since the end of the 19th century, and its role in helping Einstein formulate the doctrine of general relativity. 20th-century physics is concerned with the concepts of time, space, motion, inertia and gravity. The documentation on all of these makes this book a reference for those who are interested in the history of science and the theory of general relativity
