Hello. What are some good books for learning cosmology? I know GR (At the level of Schutz) And /some/ QFT. So...How much particle physics/QFT are required for a book like Weinberg or Dodelson? Should I do my QCD and Electroweak theory and particle physics before doing cosmology?

Which Weinberg? G & C or C? G & C doesn't require QFT... it's tough, but Schutz may be enough as a pre-requisite... Can't comment on C, I'm too afraid to open it :)
