Quasars, Redshifts and Controversies
Halton C. Arp (Author)
For twenty years, the author has contested the 'establishment' view of quasars as the most distant objects in the universe. In this book, Arp presents the original observations and fundamental data on quasars and galaxies, and explains why many astronomers, despite the accumulation of compelling evidence, defend what Arp believes is a fundamentally incorrect assumption.
