Is Nature Generic?- Evolution of Ideas in Modern Cosmology -- Constraints and Evolution in Cosmology -- Cosmological Singularities -- Exact Cosmological Solutions -- Introduction to Cosmological Dynamical Systems -- Cosmological Parameters -- Modern Cosmological Observations -- Cosmological Perturbations -- Dark Matter, a Particle Theorist's Viewpoint -- An Introduction to Particle Physics -- Quantum Cosmology -- Inflationary Cosmology -- String Cosmology -- Brane Cosmology.

Summary: This book has grown out of lectures held at a summer school on cosmology, in response to an ever increasing need for an advanced textbook that addresses the needs of both postgraduate students and nonspecialist researchers from various disciplines ranging from mathematical physics to observational astrophysics. Bridging the gap between standard textbook material in cosmology and the forefront of research, this book also constitutes a modern source of reference for the experienced researcher in classical and quantum cosmology.
