| Title | The Early Universe : Facts and Fiction |
| Author(s) | B??rner, Gerhard |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2003. |
| Description | XVII, 593 p : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This fourth edition of B??rner's "The Early Universe" is practically a new book, not just an updated version. In particular, to meet the wishes of many readers, it is now organized so as to make it more useful as a textbook. Problem sections are also added. In the center are the connections between particle physics and cosmology: the standard model, some basic implications of quantum field theory, and the questions of structure formation. A special feature of the book is the comparison of theoretical predictions with observations, separating "facts from fiction". Special emphasis is given to the observed anisotropies of the cosmic microwave background and the consequences drawn for cosmology and for the structure formation models. Nuclear and particle physicists and astrophysicists, researchers and teachers as well as graduate students will welcome this new edition of a classic text and reference. In this corrected reprint first year results from WMAP have been added to take account of recent developments |

| Title | The Wondrous Universe : Creation without Creator? |
| Author(s) | B??rner, Gerhard |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2011. |
| Description | VII, 184 p. 37 illus., 13 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The world as it is viewed from modern physics and cosmology has many strange and unexpected features. Often these are in stark contrast with our everyday experience or our preconceptions, such as the concept of space and time as finite and changeable. Nevertheless it is this strange world which is the fundamental basis of our existence. Therefore modern science also has a few things to say about the age-old questions: Who are we? ??? Where do we come from? ??? Where are we going? The author, an experienced scientist and teacher, presents the knowledge that we have about our world??for non-experts. He takes us on a journey through cosmology and the quantum world of elementary particles. And he sketches the impact of the insights gained into philosophical assumptions and religious beliefs in these disciplines. In the end he asks the speculative question whether there is something beyond the limits of the natural sciences. Gerhard B??rner is a Professor of Physics at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich and conducts research on the early universe and dark matter at the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics in Garching near Munich. He received his PhD for a thesis on particle physics under the supervision of Werner Heisenberg and Hans-Peter D??rr. Professor B??rner is the author of the successful graduate textbook "The Early Universe" (published by Springer and now in its 4th edition), as well as of several popular science books on cosmology. In 2009 he received the Chinese Academy of Sciences Award for International Cooperation in Science and Technology (together with Prof. Maurice-Roger Bonnet). In 2010 he received the "Friendship Award," and in January 2011 the Chinese government???s National Award for Cooperation in Science and Technology, the highest honor bestowed on foreigners |

| Title | The Early Universe : Facts and Fiction |
| Author(s) | B??rner, Gerhard |
| Publication | Berlin, Heidelberg, Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 1993. |
| Description | XVI, 467 p. 100 illus., 29 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | In this corrected and enlarged edition of B??rner's well respected textbook, you will find an up-to-date account of the interplay between particle physics and astrophysics upon which modern cosmology is founded. The author describes some of the theories which have been developed to model the fundamental interaction of elementary particles in the extremely high temperatures of the early universe, taking care to distinguish facts and well- established results from hypotheses and speculations. The three parts of the book discuss the standard hot big bang model of the early universe, the basic ideas of the standard and the grand unified theories of elementary particles, and the influence of dark matter of the large- scale evolution of structure. In addition to making some minor corrections, the author has added an appendix presenting new results and an updated bibliography. Two main groups of readers are addressed: research students in astronomy can use this book to understand the impact of elementary particle theory on cosmology, while research students in particle physics can use it to acquaint themselves with the basic facts of cosmology. The book is written carefully enough to appeal also to a wider audience of physicists |
