LECTURES ON GRAVITATION

“The book is well written with a clear, unfussy and pedagogical style. The text also makes good use of clear and simple diagrams wherever appropriate. There are useful worked examples scattered throughout the book; these aid understanding of the more abstract concepts by letting the reader see them applied to specific situations. I can recommend Lectures on Gravitation as a useful, concise introductory overview of the key mathematical and physical concepts in General Relativity. It would make a helpful accompaniment to an advanced undergraduate or postgraduate course on this topic, or as a useful reference source for researchers and teachers who are working in the field of General Relativity.”

“The overall structure of the book is a careful presentation of the main topics in relativistic gravitation.”
