The Early Universe [E-Book] : Facts and Fiction / by Gerhard Börner.
In this corrected and enlarged edition of Börner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded. The author describes some of the theories which have been developed to model the fun...
