| Title | Astrophysics and the evolution of the universe |
| Author(s) | Leonard S. Kisslinger |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2014. |
| Description | xii, 206p. |
| Abstract Note | The aim of this book is to teach undergraduate college or university students the basic physics concepts needed to understand the mathematics which describes the evolution of the universe, and based on this to teach the astrophysical theories behind evolution from very early times to the present. The book does not require students to have extensive knowledge of mathematics, like calculus, and includes material that explains concepts such as velocity, acceleration, and force. Based on this, fascinating topics such as Dark Matter, measuring Dark Energy via supernovae velocities, and the creation of mass via the Higgs mechanism are explained. All college students with an interest in science, especially astronomy, without extensive mathematical backgrounds should be able to use and learn from this book. Adults interested in topics like dark energy and the Higgs boson, which are in the news, can make use of this book as well. |

| Title | Dark matter and cosmic web story |
| Author(s) | Jaan Einasto |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2013. |
| Description | xiii, 350p. |
| Series | (Advanced Series in Astrophysics and Cosmology) |
| Abstract Note | The concepts of dark matter and the cosmic web are some of the most significant developments in cosmology in the past century. They have decisively changed the classical cosmological paradigm, which was first elaborated upon during the first half of the 20th century but ran into serious problems in the second half. Today, they are integral parts of modern cosmology, which explains everything from the Big Bang to inflation to the large scale structure of the Universe.
Dark Matter and Cosmic Web Story describes the contributions that led to a paradigm shift from the Eastern point of view. It describes the problems with the classical view, the attempts to solve them, the difficulties encountered by those solutions, and the conferences where the merits of the new concepts were debated. Amidst the science, the story of scientific work in a small country occupied by the Soviet Union and the tumultuous events that led to its breakup are detailed as well.This book is accompanied by a website which contains additional material: copies of the originals of some crucial papers, astronomical movies, and movies which showcase the private life of the author. |

| Title | Structures in the universe by exact methods: Formation, evolution, interactions |
| Author(s) | Krzysztof Bolejko;Andrzej Krasinski;Charles Hellaby ;Marie-Noelle Celerier |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2009. |
| Description | xiii, 242p. |
| Series | (Cambridge monographs on mathematical physics) |
| Abstract Note | As the structures in our Universe are mapped out on ever larger scales, and with increasing detail, the use of inhomogeneous models is becoming an essential tool for analyzing and understanding them. This book reviews a number of important developments in the application of inhomogeneous solutions of Einstein's field equations to cosmology. It shows how inhomogeneous models can be employed to study the evolution of structures such as galaxy clusters and galaxies with central black holes, and to account for cosmological observations like supernovae dimming, the cosmic microwave background, baryon acoustic oscillations or the dependence of the Hubble parameter on redshift within classical general relativity. Whatever `dark matter' and `dark energy' turn out to be, inhomogeneities exist on many scales and need to be investigated with all appropriate methods. This book is of great value to all astrophysicists and researchers working in cosmology, from graduate students to academic researchers.

| Title | Particle dark matter: Observations, models and searches |
| Author(s) | Gianfranco Bertone (ed.) |
| Publication | Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2010. |
| Description | xxiii, 738p. |
| Abstract Note | Dark matter is among the most important open problems in modern physics. Aimed at graduate students and researchers, this book describes the theoretical and experimental aspects of the dark matter problem in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. Featuring contributions from 48 leading theorists and experimentalists, it presents many aspects, from astrophysical observations to particle physics candidates, and from the prospects for detection at colliders to direct and indirect searches. The book introduces observational evidence for dark matter along with a detailed discussion of the state-of-the-art of numerical simulations and alternative explanations in terms of modified gravity. It then moves on to the candidates arising from theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, and to the prospects for detection at accelerators. It concludes by looking at direct and indirect dark matter searches, and the prospects for detecting the particle nature of dark matter with astrophysical experiments. |

| Title | Introduction to the theory of the early universe: Cosmological Perturbations and Inflationary Theory |
| Author(s) | Dmitry S. Gorbunov ;Valery A. Rubakov |
| Publication | New Jersey, World Scientific Publishing Co. Pvt. Ltd., 2010. |
| Description | xiii, 489p. |
| Abstract Note | This book accompanies another book by the same authors, Introduction to the Theory of the Early Universe: Hot Big Bang Theory and presents the theory of the evolution of density perturbations and relic gravity waves, theory of cosmological inflation and post-inflationary reheating. Written in a pedagogical style, the main chapters give a detailed account of the established theory, with derivation of formulas. Being self-contained, it is a useful textbook for advanced undergraduate students and graduate students. Essential materials from General Relativity, theory of Gaussian random fields and quantum field theory are collected in the appendices. The more advanced topics are approached similarly in a pedagogical way. These parts may serve as a detailed introduction to current research. |
