Does someone know of an official or unofficial errata for the above book of Weinberg?
On the very first page, footnote 2: "The Sloan Digital Sky Survey provides evidence that the distribution of galaxies is homogeneous on scales larger than about 300 light years[...]" Of course, he meant Mly. Checking the reference (Yadav et al. 2005), it's indeed 60− 70h-1 Mpc.MathematicalPhysicist said:Well, the Cosmology book has a corrections' file here:

I plan to read the Cosmology and Gravitation book after I am finished with Schutz's book.
I hope all the mistakes if there are will be found and corrected; But progress will be rather slow.
