The standard cosmological picture of our Universe emerging from a
'big bang' leaves open many fundamental questions which string
theory, a unified theory of all forces of nature, should be able to
answer. This 2007 text was the first dedicated to string cosmology,
and contains a pedagogical introduction to the basic notions of the
subject. It describes the possible scenarios suggested by string
theory for the primordial evolution of our Universe. It discusses
the main phenomenological consequences of these scenarios, stresses
their differences from each other, and compares them to the more
conventional models of inflation. The book summarises over 15 years
of research in this field and introduces advances. It is
self-contained, so it can be read by astrophysicists with no
knowledge of string theory, and high-energy physicists with little
understanding of cosmology. Detailed and explicit derivations of
all the results presented provide a deeper appreciation of the
subject.
