Abstract: "This book is intended for graduate students and early-career researchers who want to learn the basics of quantum cosmology in a pedagogical, up-to-date manner. Topics include: the big bang and the creation of spacetime, inflation, tunneling, wormholes, the wave function of the universe, and elementary concepts of string cosmology"-- Provided by publisher
