书籍简介/Book Description

诺贝尔物理学奖得主皮布尔斯（P. J. E. Peebles）对早期宇宙结构和演变的经典描述

《宇宙的大尺度结构》一经出版，立即成为这一重要研究领域的重要介绍。该书由世界上受尊敬的理论宇宙学家撰写，对这一主题进行了宝贵的历史介绍，并对处理宇宙演化的关键方法、统计措施和技术作了持久的概述。皮布尔斯（P. J. E. Peebles）以其特有的清晰和洞察力，专注于已知的星系团--权衡团聚性质的经验证据和它在膨胀的宇宙中如何演变的理论。本版《宇宙的大尺度结构》是学生和研究人员的必备参考书，为新一代读者介绍了现代宇宙学的经典文本。

The classic account of the structure and evolution of the early universe from Nobel Prize–winning physicist P. J. E. Peebles

An instant landmark on its publication, The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe remains the essential introduction to this vital area of research. Written by one of the world's most esteemed theoretical cosmologists, it provides an invaluable historical introduction to the subject, and an enduring overview of key methods, statistical measures, and techniques for dealing with cosmic evolution. With characteristic clarity and insight, P. J. E. Peebles focuses on the largest known structures―galaxy clusters―weighing the empirical evidence of the nature of clustering and the theories of how it evolves in an expanding universe. A must-have reference for students and researchers alike, this edition of The Large-Scale Structure of the Universe introduces a new generation of readers to a classic text in modern cosmology.

Phillip James Edwin Peebles CC OM FRS (born April 25, 1935) is a Canadian-American astrophysicist, astronomer, and theoretical cosmologist who is currently the Albert Einstein Professor of Science, Emeritus, at Princeton University. He is widely regarded as one of the world's leading theoretical cosmologists in the period since 1970, with major theoretical contributions to primordial nucleosynthesis, dark matter, the cosmic microwave background, and structure formation.

Peebles was awarded half of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2019 for his theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology. He shared the prize with Michel Mayor and Didier Queloz for their discovery of an exoplanet orbiting a sun-like star. While much of his work relates to the development of the universe from its first few seconds, he is more skeptical about what we can know about the very beginning, and stated, "It's very unfortunate that one thinks of the beginning whereas in fact, we have no good theory of such a thing as the beginning."

Peebles has described himself as a convinced agnostic.
