Bernstein J. Kinetic Theory in the Expanding Universe
CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS, Cambridge, 1988, 149 Pages Kinetic Theory in the Expanding Universe is a self-contained exposition of the applications of kinetic theory to basic problems in modern cosmology, such as the role of stable and unstable massive neutrinos and the theory of cosmological helium production. There has been rapid development of the theory of the origin and evolution of the universe in recent years, stimulated, in large part, b...
Keel W.C. The Road to Galaxy Formation
Springer, 2010. - 284 p. - ISBN: 3540725342 The formation of galaxies is one of the greatest puzzles in astronomy, the solution is shrouded in the depths of space and time, but has profound implications for the universe we observe today. This book discusses the beginnings of the process from cosmological observations and calculations. It examines the different theories of galaxy formation and shows where each theory either succeeds or fails in e...
Kelley D.H., Milone E.F. Exploring Ancient Skies: A Survey of Ancient and Cultural Astronomy
2nd Edition, Springer, 2011, 639 pages Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient as...

Patrick Moore's Practical Astronomy Series Deep-Sky Video Astronomy is a concise guide to using modern video cameras for deep-sky viewing and imaging with the kinds of modest telescopes available commercially to amateur astronomers. It is not a beginner's book, but it does include an introduction and brief history of the technology, camera types, etc. More importantly, the authors examine the pros and cons of this u...
Schilling G. Atlas of Astronomical Discoveries
Springer, 2011. - 242 p. - ISBN: 1441978100 Four hundred years ago in Middelburg, in the Netherlands, the telescope was invented. The invention unleashed a revolution in the exploration of the universe. Galileo Galilei discovered mountains on the Moon, spots on the Sun, and moons around Jupiter. Christiaan Huygens saw details on Mars and rings around Saturn. William Herschel discovered a new planet and mapped binary stars and nebulae. Other astr...
Wainwright J., Ellis G.F.R. Dynamical Systems in Cosmology
Cambridge University Press, 1997. - 357 Pages. This authoritative volume shows how modern dynamical systems theory can help us in understanding the evolution of cosmological models. It also compares this approach with Hamiltonian methods and numerical studies. A major part of the book deals with the spatially homogeneous (Bianchi) models and their isotropic subclass, the Friedmann-Lemaitre models, but certain classes of inhomogeneous models (fo...
Wesson P.S. Weaving the Universe: Is Modern Cosmology Discovered or Invented?
World Scientific Publishing, 2011, 204 pages This new book is a thorough but short review of the history and present status of ideas in cosmology. It is aimed at a broad audience, but will contain a few equations where needed to make the argument exact. The coverage of cosmological ideas will focus mainly on the period from the early 1900s when Einstein formulated relativity and when his colleague Sir Arthur Eddington was creating relativistic...
