The First Three Minutes: A Modern View of the Origin of the Universe by Steven Weinberg

5.0

The book that inspires. This one is easy to read the cosmological classic by Steven Weinberg. The book can act as a good intro for a person if you want to know more about the field of cosmology and the big bang.
The book is old and too much more has been introduced in the field with the new data but this book is a really good starting point a must read if you want to read more about nucleosynthesis and dark matter and dark energy although it does not deal with these topics but will certainly provide you with the required tools.
