A systematic, carefully authored review of our current observational and theoretical knowledge of dark energy. Providing a brief and concise overview, the book covers theory and experiment in equal detail, directly linking the two. A final section also looks at future developments. Indispensable for researchers entering this rapidly evolving field. Was wissen wir über Dunkle Energie? Welche direkten Hinweise gibt es, und in welche Richtung gehen moderne Theorien? Wer eine ausgewogene Darstellung des aktuellen Forschungsstandes sucht, ist hier richtig. Auch zum Einarbeiten empfehlenswert; mit einem interessanten Ausblick in die Zukunft des Gebietes.
