"This book collects together a very nice set of introductions and overviews of important topics in Cosmology, covering current research and some older material, that would be difficult for many Cosmology or GR research groups to provide. Thus it would be very suitable for libraries that cannot acquire so many new publications, as well as for broadening the knowledge of graduate students and post-docs."
