The classic account of the structure and evolution of the early
universe from Nobel Prize-winning physicist P. J. E. Peebles
An instant landmark on its publication, The Large-Scale Structure of
the Universe remains the essential introduction to this vital area of
research. Written by one of the world's most esteemed theoretical
cosmologists, it provides an invaluable historical introduction to the
subject, and an enduring overview of key methods, statistical measures,
and techniques for dealing with cosmic evolution. With characteristic
clarity and insight, P. J. E. Peebles focuses on the largest known
structures-galaxy clusters-weighing the empirical evidence of the nature
of clustering and the theories of how it evolves in an expanding
universe. A must-have reference for students and researchers alike, this
edition of The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe introduces a new
generation of readers to a classic text in modern cosmology.
