GENERAL RELATIVISTIC DYNAMICS

“Einstein's general theory of relativity has inspired many studies and expositions of the same. The one we have here is indeed another fresh perspective. The book reviews the special as well as general theories of relativity and also many topics in relativity and astrophysics which are of modern day interest. It is a pleasure to see the k-Calculus approach by Bondi reviewed and discussed here, and the treatment on cosmology again contains new but not frequently discussed topics in books at this level, such as motions of stars in the galaxy, galaxy clusters, and closed time-like curves. The author's own work and his new approaches are seen at many places. It is a delightful treatment and the students as well as researchers in gravitation physics will enjoy reading through many of the interesting issues here.”
