      abstract = {This comprehensive textbook is devoted to classical and  quantum cosmology, with particular emphasis on modern  approaches to quantum gravity and string theory and on  their observational imprint. It covers major challenges in  theoretical physics such as the big bang and the  cosmological constant problem. An extensive review of  standard cosmology, the cosmic microwave background,  inflation and dark energy sets the scene for the  phenomenological application of all the main  quantum-gravity and string-theory models of cosmology. Born  of the author's teaching experience and commitment to  bridging the gap between cosmologists and theoreticians  working beyond the established laws of particle physics and  general relativity, this is a unique text where  quantum-gravity approaches and string theory are treated on  an equal footing. As well as introducing cosmology to  undergraduate and graduate students with its pedagogical  presentation and the help of 45 solved exercises, this  book, which includes an ambitious bibliography of about  3500 items, will serve as a valuable reference for  lecturers and researchers.},
