Title: Fundamental ideas in cosmology (M) : scientific, philosophical and sociological critical perspectives/ Martín López-Corredoira Dewey Class: 523.1 Author: López-Corredoira, Martín Publication: Bristol : IOP Publishing, 2022 Physical Details: xi, 232 p. : ill.; 26 cm. ISBN: 9780750337731 Summary Note: This book examines the world of cosmological research, providing an in-depth critical review of the research associated with challenges to the standard Big Bang scenario. It includes studies that are apparently at odds with the current standard Lambda-CDM model, providing examples of alternative theories, tests and problems with the standard model, and a discussion on the philosophy and sociology of cosmology. Theoretical limitations and practical implications of the Standard Model are discussed, assessing the sociological factors contributing to the neglect of alternative cosmological ideas, which include the allocation of funds, research positions, prestige, and telescope time, as well as discussing the religious, economic and political ideologies that influence the contents of cosmological ideas. The book is an excellent resource for working cosmologists, as well as undergraduate and graduate students of Astronomy and Philosophy of Science.
