Hi all,
I'm writing to share the news that a cosmology text I've been working
on with Craig Tyler for several years was just released by Addison-
Wesley :) Please help spread the word to others who might be
interested, by forwarding the basic info I've pasted below,
requesting the book at your local library, contributing reviews to
Amazon.com or relevant journals, etc. I'd also love to hear your
ideas and suggestions about teaching cosmology, and updates on what
you're up to if we haven't talked in awhile!
Thanks and warm regards,
Todd

Food for thought:

"Regardless of different personal views about science, no credible understanding of the natural world or our human existence…can ignore the basic insights of theories as key as evolution, relativity, and quantum mechanics." - The Dalai Lama
