."..a readable introduction to the newest astrophysical observations and speculations....The strongest feature of this brief book is a well written and easily understood introduction to the physical concepts underlying quantum cosmology and inflation....Islam's book contains a nice collection of topics which are at the current frontier of research in gravity and will be an excellent supplement to a course introducing general relativity." Edward Glass, SIAM Review
