Hello,
Has anyone read any good or interesting Cosmology books lately?
Thanks

Astronomy news on Phys.org
"Once Before Time" maybe the only layman's guide to loop quantum cosmology.
 
For popular books, I suggest:

a) Many Worlds in One: The Search for Other Universes by Vilenkin
b) Cosmic Jackpot by Davies
c) The Inflationary Universe by Guth

There are hundreds of other good ones, but these are a few of my favorite that I read cover-to-cover.

The most readable one with some of the math in my opinion is Introduction to Modern Cosmology by Liddle.
 
Thanks for the input!
 
Cool, thanks for the tips.

I just ordered The Inflationary Universe by Guth, I can't wait!
