“A remarkable feature of this book is that relatively little specialized knowledge is required from the reader; a cursory acquaintance with quantum mechanics and relativity is sufficient. This is impressive, given that the authors cover some of the hottest topics in current research … conceptually the book is truly challenging. It makes us think about many ideas we take for granted and shakes the foundations of our understanding of basic physics. It provides a rollercoaster ride into the treacherous and largely uncharted land of quantum gravity. This book is highly recommended for those interested in these fascinating topics.”
“Students and non-specialists will welcome this book, which provides an entry into this fascinating realm at a level that can be enjoyed by an enterprising undergraduate … This well-planned, stimulating and sometimes provocative book can be enthusiastically recommended.”
“The authors, both established researchers, present a review of black hole physics in one of the simplest and most efficient ways … The book will be useful for students of physics and for everyone interested in understanding ways in which knowledge is generated theoretically.”
