Overview
- The first monograph on modified gravity and cosmology
- Unifies the existing literature on alternative gravity, using a consistent notation and containing all relevant references
- Pedagogically written and hence an ideal introduction for graduate students into alternative theories of gravity
- Excellent reference for researchers working on f(R) gravity and cosmology, and similar theories
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
Part of the book series: Fundamental Theories of Physics (FTPH, volume 170)

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This monograph covers almost all extended theories of gravity which are under current discussion and their application to cosmology. It is a useful guide through the literature on these topics, and the reference list covers as many as 1180 items, mainly from the recent ten years. The authors themselves are active researchers in this field, and so they are able to present the material with competence, especially, they often give the key equations and explain the problematic points.” (Hans-Jürgen Schmidt, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
