Cosmology in Scalar-Tensor Gravity covers all aspects of cosmology in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. Considerable progress has been made in this exciting area of physics and this book is the first to provide a critical overview of the research. Among the topics treated are: .-Scalar-tensor gravity and its limit to general relativity, .-Effective energy-momentum tensors and conformalframes, .-Gravitational waves in scalar-tensor cosmology, .-Specific scalar-tensor theories, .-Exact cosmological solutions and cosmological perturbations,.-Scalar-tensor scenarios of the early universe and inflation, .-Scalar-tensor models of quintessence in the present universe and their far-reaching consequences for the ultimate fate of the cosmos.
