The physical universe : the interface between cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics : proceedings of the XII Autumn School of Physics held at Lisbon, Portugal, 1-5 October 1990

Meant as a review for students of astrophysics and particle physics, this book contains a selection of survey articles and seminar reports on "high energy cosmology". Included are contributions on topics ranging from classical cosmology, large scale structure, and primordial nucleosynthesi...
