Relatively new.
Yes this one.drmalawi said:
Book recommendations are always subjective. My strong recommendation at about the level of Carroll's GR book is Daniel Baumann's brand-new book "Cosmology", which is based on his renowned lecture notes. It would be useful to have been exposed previously to quantum theory at the level of Griffiths' book. Also some previous exposure to thermal and statistical physics might be useful.accdd said:I know I should not study cosmology from books that are too dated. Can you recommend an up-to-date cosmology book?
I am studying GR from Carroll's book. Do I need to study astrophysics first or other topics?
I know that folks in Europe, including Britain, have been receiving delivery, and I think delivery in North America is imminent.drmalawi said:This book will be released in october this years, looks good https://www.amazon.com/dp/1108838073/?tag=pfamazon01-20
This a good book, but its level is quite substantially lower than that of Carroll. This makes it suitable for a side-read, but I do not think that it is suitable as a primary source. (Just my opinion.)drmalawi said:You also have Liddles book https://www.amazon.com/dp/1118502140/?tag=pfamazon01-20 I had this book (earlier edition) as a side read for my cosmology class in 2007

Yes, this is really strange. I am in Canada, and amazon.ca says "June 30 2022." I pre-ordered my copy months ago, but yesterday I received an email that said "We're encountering a delay in shipping your order. We'll make every effort to get the delayed item to you as soon as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience."drmalawi said:Yup it is available in my country too. Wondering why Amazon says october 2022?
yeah that was the book we were discussing aboveatyy said:Daniel Baumann's Cosmology has just been published.
Cosmology is the scientific study of the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the Big Bang theory, the formation of galaxies and stars, and the search for dark matter and dark energy.
An up-to-date cosmology textbook is important because our understanding of the universe is constantly evolving and new discoveries are being made all the time. A textbook that is not up-to-date may contain outdated information and theories, which can hinder a student's understanding and knowledge of the subject.
A cosmology textbook is considered up-to-date if it includes the latest scientific research and discoveries in the field. This can include new data from telescopes and space missions, as well as advancements in theoretical models and concepts.
The frequency of updates for cosmology textbooks can vary, but it is generally recommended to update them every 5-10 years. This allows for new discoveries and advancements to be incorporated into the textbook, while still providing a stable foundation of knowledge for students.
When looking for an up-to-date cosmology textbook, it is important to consider the author's credentials and expertise in the field, as well as the inclusion of recent research and data. It should also be well-written and organized in a way that is easy for students to understand and follow.
