{"product_id":"modern-cosmology","title":"Modern Cosmology","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eModern Cosmology, Third Edition\u003c\/i\u003e provides a detailed introduction to the field of cosmology. Beginning with the smooth, homogeneous universe described by a Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker metric, this trusted resource includes careful treatments of dark energy, big bang nucleosynthesis, recombination, and dark matter. The reader is then introduced to perturbations about an FLRW universe: their evolution with the Einstein-Boltzmann equations, their primordial generation by inflation, and their observational consequences: the acoustic peaks in the CMB; the E\/B decomposition in polarization; gravitational lensing of the CMB and large-scale structure; and the BAO standard ruler and redshift-space distortions in galaxy clustering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis revised third edition includes updates such as new sections on gravitational waves, line intensity mapping, and emergent analysis techniques; expanded sections of CMB secondaries; and revised figures and pedagogy. These revisions serve to enhance a comprehensive foundational text, as well as provide users with improvements that are aligned with recent advances in the field, as well as modern focuses in the classroom. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elsevier Science","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45663109775550,"sku":null,"price":101.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0536\/0592\/5054\/files\/22505343482345.jpg?v=1765183441","url":"https:\/\/bookshopnow.com\/products\/modern-cosmology","provider":"Book Shop Now","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
