The discussions are clear, rich, and thought provoking. This book is well written and belongs in all college libraries.' K. L. Schick, CHOICE
'... I recommend this book. It is a good intorduction to an important topic in modern astrophysics and cosmology, accessible to the 'interested layman' but also valuable for those with more-advanced knowledge of astrophysics but with less knowledge of MOND.' Phillip Helbig, The Observatory
'... a light but advanced reading addressing the discrepancies in the standard Lambda cold dark matter (CDM) cosmological paradigm that supports dark matter (duh, obviously) and compares it to an alternative outlook ... Thus, although it is of general interest, it gears towards those with some background in cosmology and astrophysics.' B. Ishak, Contemporary Physics
Robert H. Sanders is Professor Emeritus at the Kapteyn Astronomical Institute of the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. He received his PhD in Astrophysics from Princeton University under the supervision of Lyman Spitzer. After working at Columbia University and the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, he moved to Europe. He spent his career studying active galactic nuclei (in particular, the Galactic Center), on the hydrodynamics of gas in galaxies and, for several decades, on the problem of the 'missing mass' in astronomical systems. His previous books are The Dark Matter Problem: A Historical Perspective (2010) and Revealing the Heart of the Galaxy: The Milky Way and Its Black Hole (2013).
