I wonder if this is an update of his book Gravitation and Cosmology.

1. The Expansion of the Universe...

Thanks for the link.

So... it looks like it's more "Cosmology" rather than "Gravitation".

Makes sense as that was the most out of date section of the older text.

New book

This is definitely a new book, not a new edition of the 1972 classic.

In the table of contents quoted by Robphy, "Fluctuations from Inflation" stood out as an obviously recent topic!

American Amazon shows it scheduled for June. Slowpokes.

I'd order from the UK if, as John Stewart says, the dollar weren't worth half an English Pound...of ****.
