Modern Cosmology

"In short, the book has substantial content of modern cosmology from observational matters to theoretical models as well as from the basics to development. I would recommend this book to those who are working on and interested in this subject." Yuan-Zhong Zhang "The editor ties the diverse contributions together in an excellent introductory chapter, tracing the historical development of cosmology . . . The content is most appropriate for graduate students and researchers. This book is highly recommended for academic collections supporting extensive research in astronomy or astrophysics." E-STREAMS, Vol.5, No. 9 ." . . the book covers most of the interesting and active areas of cosmological research . . . at an appropriate level for new postgraduate studenns. I would recommend this book as an interesting snapshot of ongoing activity." Peter Coles in General Relativity and Gravitation "This book is a heterogeneous compliation of articles based on lectures, mostly from theorists, describing both the foundations and the present status of cosmology . . . They are a pleasure to read and may be extremely useful to PhD students and even researchers in other fields . . . In summary, I think the book is a nice compilation of the status of cosmology in the year 2000. It gives the right perspective of what is to come in the next few years, or even decadses."
