*{{cite book | author=Cheng, Ta-Pei | title=Relativity, Gravitation and Cosmology: a Basic Introduction | location=Oxford and New York| publisher=Oxford University Press| year=2005 | id=ISBN 0-19-852957-0}} Cosmology is introduced in the framework of general relativity -- but without the full tensor apparatus, which is presented in the last part of the book. Particularly suitable for an introductory GR course with an emphasis on cosmology.
