The book includes  reviews of the different cosmological models and their classification,  including such topics as causality and horizons, the cosmological  parameters, observational tests and constraints of cosmology,  symmetries and the large scale topology of space and space-time, and  the use of supernovas as cosmological indicators. \u003cbr\u003e  The perturbations to the cosmological models are discussed throughout  the volume. The cosmic microwave background is presented, with an  emphasis in secondary distortions in relation to cosmological models  and large scale structures. Recent results on dark matter are  summarised. A general review of primordial nucleosynthesis is given.  Gravitational lensing is discussed in great detail. Most contributions  show a balance between theory and observation. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eReadership\u003c\/em\u003e: A solid background for students and researchers  intending to work in the field of theoretical and observational  cosmology.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9780792359463\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792359463\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-011-4455-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 396\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358957203596,"sku":"9780792359463","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792359463.jpg?v=1755099213","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792359463","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
