Abstract: (arXiv)
This Resource Letter provides a guide to the literature on the evolution of the Universe, from an early inflation epoch to the complex hierarchy of structure seen today. References are listed for the following topics: general relativity/ observations of the expanding Universe/ the hot early Universe and nucleosynthesis/ theory and observations of the cosmic microwave background/ Big Bang cosmology/ inflation/ dark matter and dark energy/ theory of structure formation/ the cold dark matter model/ galaxy formation/ cosmological simulations/ observations of galaxies, clusters, and quasars/ statistical measures of large-scale structure/ measurement of cosmological parameters/ and some open questions in cosmology.
