Beginning with the famous Olber's paradox, paradoxes such as the missing mass, dark energy, baryon to photon ratio and cosmic zero-point energy are examined in detail.

Begins by introducing the effective field approach, the simplest approach to phase transitions. This book provides an intuitive approximation to the physics of diverse phenomena such as liquid-vapor transitions, ferromagnetism, superconductivity, order-disorder in alloys, ferroelectricity, superfluidity and ferroelasticity.

Reviews WMAP's main results (2003) and discusses how the accurate qualitative results for the "age" of the universe and the Hubble constant were anticipated in an article published in "Acta Cosmologica", Krakow.
