Note publique d'information : Some 25 years after the birth of inflationary cosmology this volume sets out to provide
a both authoritative and pedagogical introduction and review of the state of the field.
Cosmic inflation corresponds to an episode of accelerated expansion of the very early
universe and solves nicely a collection of puzzles that had plagued standard cosmology
so far. Different scenarios exist, though, and the reader will learn about the "ins"
and "outs" as the subject and related issues are surveyed. With lectures written by
eminent scientists in the field, many of them having made pioneering contributrions
in the early hours of the field, Inflationary Cosmology addresses both senior and
younger high-energy physicists, cosmologists and observational astrophysicists seeking
both a readable account and reference in the field
