Inhaltsangabe

This book, first published in 2007, is an introductory textbook on quantum field theory in gravitational backgrounds for undergraduate and beginning graduate students in the fields of theoretical astrophysics, cosmology, particle physics, and string theory. It is self-contained and assumes only a basic knowledge of general relativity, and includes exercises with detailed solutions.
