Work
In The Cosmic Ecosystem: A Revised View of Cosmology (Wildwood House, London, 1980; 194 pp.), Johnston sets out arguments for a steady-state universe, addressed to both scientists and the general reader, in opposition to the prevailing Big Bang cosmology. The book presents his "revised view" of cosmological questions rather than a mainstream textbook treatment, and its steady-state stance places it outside the accepted cosmological consensus.
