A book about dark matter and energy

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on a request for book recommendations about dark matter and dark energy, particularly suitable for a first-year engineering student. Participants suggest several titles, including "The Dark Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective" by Robert H. Sanders and "Dark Side of the Universe." Another recommended book is "The Four Percent Universe" by Panek. The conversation highlights the need for accessible literature on these complex topics, as well as the limited information available on platforms like Wikipedia.

Hello, since I am very interested in universe, I would like to know something more about dark matter and energy. There are too few information on Wikipedia for instance.

Could you recommend me any great book which can bring me some light about this stuff? I am 1st year engineering student (for appropriate level of literature). E-book doesn't matter to me.

For a book about dark matter (not dark energy), I recommend the book

"The Dark Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective" by Robert H. Sanders.
 
'The Four Percent Universe' by Panek is also a good read.
 
big thanks to all of you
 

Thread '"WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians'

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

Thread 'Books with a more theoretical approach to turbulence and DNS'

I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
