A beautiful introduction to elementary cosmology

This wonderful little book, now sadly out of print, has a special poignancy for me. It was awarded to me as a school prize for Physics many years ago. Its simple presentation of the dominant aspects of cosmology is pitched at exactly the right level between the serious academic and the curious layman. The mathematics is extremely elementary - nothing beyond the level of an introductory astrophysics course at undergraduate level. In fact this slim volume served me well through my own University career (along with another school Physics prize - Wheeler's wonderful introduction to relativity theory).
