Your Cosmic Context
by Todd Duncan and Craig Tyler

Books used in recent previous semesters: Foundations of Cosmology by Holcomb and Hawley. A more advanced text in use by the majors who take the course is Andrew Liddle's An Introduction to Modern cosmology. Another text at roughly the level of Liddle's book is Barbara Ryden's Introduction to Cosmology (ISBN: 0-8053-8912-1). Also potentially useful, though out of print, is Eric Linder's First Principles of Cosmology (ISBN: 0-201-40395-1)
