Particle Physics and Cosmology: the Fabric of Spacetime

This book is part of the Les Houches Summer School on "Particle Physics and Cosmology: the Fabric of Spacetime". It provides a pedagogical introduction to all aspects of the early Universe.

· Provides a topic of physics and cosmology
· Addresses each topic from the basis to the most recent developments
· Provides necessary tools to build new models in the cosmology and particle physics
· Covers the lectures by internationally-renowned and leading experts
· Faces the predictions of theoretical models against the collider of experimental data as well as from cosmological observations
