Excellent- More about Cosmic Microwave Background
The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is the radiation left over from the Big Bang, revolutionizing cosmology from an order-of-magnitude science to a precision science. This graduate textbook describes CMB physics from first principles in a detailed yet pedagogical way, assuming only that the reader has a working knowledge of General Relativity. New chapters on non-Gaussianities and large-scale structure have been added, and discussions on lensing and baryon acoustic oscillations have been updated. The CMB success story in estimating cosmological parameters is treated in detail.

The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), the radiant aftermath of the Big Bang, stands as a paramount subject in contemporary cosmology. Its theoretical framework and empirical observations have transformed cosmology from a realm of approximate measurements to a discipline of precise precision. This graduate textbook presents a comprehensive yet accessible account of CMB physics, commencing with fundamental principles and assuming a foundational understanding of General Relativity. Notable enhancements in this second edition include dedicated chapters on non-Gaussianities in the CMB and on large-scale structure, as well as expanded discussions on lensing and baryon acoustic oscillations, which have witnessed significant advancements in recent years. The discussions on CMB experiments have been updated to incorporate the latest insights from the Planck data, further enriching our understanding of this celestial phenomenon. The subsequent chapters delve into the remarkable success story of CMB in estimating cosmological parameters, showcasing the exquisite interplay between theoretical comprehension and precise experimental measurements. This textbook serves as an invaluable resource for advanced students and researchers seeking to delve into the intricate realms of CMB physics, offering a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of this fundamental aspect of our universe.
