The Third Edition of the hugely successful Introduction to Cosmology
provides a concise, authoritative study of cosmology at an introductory
level. Starting from elementary principles and the history of
cosmology, the text carefully guides the student on to curved
spacetimes, general relativity, black holes, cosmological models,
particles and symmetries, and phase transitions.
Extensively revised, this latest edition includes broader and updated
coverage of distance measures, gravitational lensing and waves, dark
energy and quintessence, the thermal history of the Universe, inflation,
large scale structure formation, and the ‘cosmological
coincidence’ problem.
