Cosmological inflation and large-scale structure

"This textbook provides graduate students with a thorough and up-to-date introduction to inflationary cosmology. Enormous progress has been made in this area in the past few years and this book is the first to provide a modern and unified overview. It covers all aspects of inflationary cosmology - from the origin of density perturbations during the inflationary epoch of the very early Universe, through the evolution of the perturbations up to the present for a range of possible cosmologies - and carefully compares predictions with the latest observations, including those of the cosmic microwave background, the clustering and velocities of galaxies and the epoch of structure formation
