The classic introduction to physical cosmology from Nobel
Prize-winning physicist P. J. E. Peebles Principles of Physical
Cosmology is the essential introduction to this critical area of
modern physics, written by a leading pioneer who has shaped the
course of the field for decades. P. J. E. Peebles provides an
authoritative overview of the field, showing how observation has
combined with theory to establish the science of physical
cosmology. He presents the elements of physical cosmology,
including the history of the discovery of the expanding universe;
surveys the cosmological tests that measure the geometry of
space-time, with a discussion of general relativity as the basis
for these tests; and reviews the origin of galaxies and the
large-scale structure of the universe. Now featuring Peebles's 2019
Nobel lecture, Principles of Physical Cosmology remains an
indispensable reference for students and researchers alike.
