The generation of large-scale cosmological structures has become one of the most pressing problems in modern cosmology. This structure generation has become the interface between astronomical observations and particle models of the early universe. The seeds for the generation of structure usually involve unification physics, and the matter needed to clump and form the structures seems to require particle properties that have not been seen in laboratories to date. New astronomical observations seem to be discovering larger structures with high peculiar velocities, while observation of the microwave background anisotropy made with the COBE satellite, balloons, and ground-based experiments place tight constraints on possible primordial density fluctuation scenarios. <br/> The book deals with a very active and exciting subject and the contributions are from leaders in the field. The intended readership is graduate students and researchers in cosmology, astronomy, astrophysics and particle physics.
