COSMO-99
Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on Particle Physics and theEarly Universe
ICTP, Trieste, Italy 27 September - 2 October 1999

edited by U Cotti (IFMUMSNH, Morelia, México), R Jeannerot, G Senjanovic & A Smirnov (ICTP, Trieste, Italy)

This volume presents the newest results and developments in the fast-moving field of astroparticle physics. The following topics are covered: dark matter, baryogenesis, neutrino physics and astrophysics, inflation, topological defects, cosmic ray physics and cosmological implications of grand unification, supersymmetry, superstrings and extra dimensions.
