      abstract = {The book is based on the author's PhD thesis, which deals  with the concept of time in quantum gravity and its  relevance for the physics of the early Universe. It  presents a consistent and complete new relational  formulation of quantum gravity (more specifically, of  quantum mechanics models with diffeomorphism invariance),  which is applied to potentially observable cosmological  effects. The work provides answers to the following  questions: How can the dynamics of quantum states of matter  and geometry be defined in a diffeomorphism-invariant way?  What is the relevant space of physical states and which  operators act on it? How are the quantum states related to  probabilities in the absence of a preferred time? The  answers can provide a further part of the route to  constructing a fundamental theory of quantum gravity. The  book is well-suited to graduate students as well as  professional researchers in the fields of general  relativity and gravitation, cosmology, and quantum  foundations.},
