Development of Large Scale Structure in the Universe

Paperback

    This volume grew out of the 1988 Fermi lectures given by Professor Ostriker, and is concerned with cosmological models that take into account the large scale structure of the universe. He starts with homogeneous isotropic models of the universe and then, by considering perturbations, he leads us to modern cosmological theories of the large scale, such as superconducting strings. This will be an excellent companion for all those interested in the cosmology and the large scale nature of the universe.

    • Well-known astrophysicist
    • Up-to-date summary of what we know about the subject, which is not a lot, as so many variables (cf Horizon in early June). This should mean broad interest
