Present and future of the cosmic microwave background : proceedings of the workshop held in Santander, Spain, 28 June-1 July 1993 /

These review articles by outstanding specialists cover the present status ofthe observations of the spectrum and of the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background radiation. Experimental developments, data analysis and related theoretical aspects are also treated. The idea is to review and disc...
