Reviews
This book treats two fields of physics that are usually taught separately quantum field theory (QFT) on one side and cosmology and gravitation on the other in a more unified manner. This volume can serve as a textbook for courses in QFT, astroparticle physics and cosmology, and students interested in working at the interface between these fields can certainly appreciate the uncommon approach used. * CERN Courier *
Recommended. * CHOICE *
As a classical textbook, it contains everything to facilitate the preparation of a lecture course or a self-study: many pictures and a lot of exercises This book is amazingly self-contained. All definitions and all numbers are here. Most of the computations are done from the beginning till the end in all details. * Dmitri V. Vassilevich, Mathematical Review Clippings *
