Modern Theoretical and Observational Cosmology : Proceedings of the 2nd Hellenic Cosmology Meeting, held in the National Observatory of Athens, Penteli, 19-20 April 2001 /

The collection of presentations in this volume represents a satisfying balance between the rich subjects into which cosmology has matured over the past decades. First, the contributions of the `Architects' discuss fundamental cosmology, focusing on the topology and geometry of our Universe and...
