An excellent, though dated, book discussing the cosmology theories of the 1950s. The presentation is generally clear and logical, and above all brief. The reader should recognize that it was written prior to the discover of the cosmic background radiation by Penzias and Wilson and the theoretical work of Hawking, Penrose and Ellis that led to the preeminence of the Big Bang theory.
