Recenzii
'A brilliant introduction to the most profound facts and ideas about the evolution of the universe, written by a young master of the field. Cosmology is a must-read for beginning students and active researchers alike.' Nima Arkani-Hamed, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study
'Daniel Baumann provides a superb introduction to modern cosmology. If I were teaching a cosmology course, I would want to have the students work through this text. Baumann balances rigor and intuition in his approach and covers the most exciting aspects of the field.' David Spergel, Charles Young Professor of Astronomy Emeritus, Princeton and President, Simons Foundation
'This book is sure to be a new standard text in modern cosmology. It covers the most important topics, from the early universe to the formation of structure, in a clear and engaging way. I'd strongly recommend it for anyone interested in the physics underlying our modern scientific view of the universe.' Sean Carroll, Professor, Johns Hopkins University and author of Spacetime and Geometry
'This masterful text is a carefully reasoned, clear exposition of a dramatic development in science: a precise characterization of the cosmological history of the universe on large scales. Baumann explains how we know what we know, via an interplay of observation and well-grounded theory. In addition, as a key contributor to its modern development, Baumann introduces opportunities to build from these results to extract fundamental empirical information about early universe dynamics from ongoing cosmological observations.' Eva Silverstein, Professor, Stanford University
'Baumann's writings and explanations are some of the clearest and best structured of any I've encountered in this field. I've been recommending his lecture notes to students for years, and this book will certainly be my first choice as an up-to-date text for those seeking to understand cosmology and its physical foundations.' Katie Mack, Professor of Cosmology and Science Communication, Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics
'Like the Book of Genesis, but true. 13.8 billion years of history in 440 content-packed pages.' David Tong, Professor, University of Cambridge
