A good paper by Luis Gonzalez-Reimann: www.safarmer.com/CosmicCycles.pdfHe traces the evolution of cosmological models in Indian texts and offers reasons for those changes as well. e.g, he says when end of Kali yuga did not happen at the expected time, the definition of year in the duration of yugas was changed to "year of the gods" making the duration of various yugas 360 fold.
