The original English edition was first published in 2004. The author of this book is already well-known for his great popular book on Fermat's last theorem. Likewise, the present book on Einstein and the Big Bang is one of the few examples that a book on such a topic is written popular, with almost no formulas, but nevertheless it is rigorous, refers to the essential soures, and, it is, finally, quite a lot of fun reading it. The chapters are as follows: 1. An overview about the history of cosmology until 19th century; 2. Universe models from the 20th century, especially Einstein's; 3. The observation of cosmic expansion; 4. The big bang model; 5. Change of paradigms. There are also several useful indices: subject index, reference lists, and a lot of quotations of famous scientists. Many pictures elucidate the contents of this book.
