"For those needing a useful introduction to this exciting area of research, these two textbooks, taken together, provide just that." (Physics Today, 1 June 2011)
A systematic, carefully authored review of our current observational and theoretical knowledge of dark energy. Providing a brief and concise overview, the book covers theory and experiment in equal detail, directly linking the two. A final section also looks at future developments. Indispensable for researchers entering this rapidly evolving field.
